VOLUNTEERS NEEDED!

The FRGPC wouldn't be the success it is without the help of our many volunteers, and we are currently looking to fill several volunteer positions for the 2025 FRGPC. Tasks will include:

• keeping the gold panning area and common areas clean and free of debris
• assistance with washing out emptied dirt buckets and refilling them with dirt for each competition
• cleaning the gold pans after each competition

If you are interested in volunteering for the 2025 FRGPC, please contact Dan at 604-948-4941 or by email at gold@yukondan.com. Yukon Dan thanks you in advance!
