The Canadian Association of Singapore is run solely by volunteers. It is fueled by the immeasurable energy, enthusiasm, passion, dedication and time contributed by them. From the President and Executive Board all the way down to the person who contributes a few spare hours, all of these contributions help to define what we are - The Canadian Association of Singapore. Each and every contribution, whether large or small, is appreciated. Without our volunteers, there would be no Association.

Now here is your chance to contribute. We need help throughout the year with our events. So if you have some time to spare.... come on out and lend a hand. It's a great way to meet new people, enjoy some camaraderie, learn something new and have some fun.

Activities Committee

If you'd like to volunteer on an ad hoc basis depending on when you have some spare time, our Activities Chairperson is always looking for help. The Activities Committee organizes new and interesting events for our members such as Homecoming, Junk Cruise, Golf Trip To Malaysia, Christmas Cocktail and the Great Canadian Picnic.

If you would be interested in helping out in any way – from an ongoing role on the Committee to one-off opportunities at various events please contact the CAS Office  (Tel: 6734-5954).

Maple Leaf Ball Committee

The annual Maple Leaf Ball is our highlight ‘gala’ event of the year and also represents our major charity fund-raising effort. With the generosity of corporate and community supporters, the Association raises funds through a Silent Auction. Boy’s Town, World Vision Singapore, Straits Times Pocket Money Fund and Tabitha Foundation (Singapore) are some of the charities we have made financial contributions to in the past. You can help out with everything from decorations to entertainment to helping with the Silent Auction. This is your chance to be involved in the biggest event of the year and all your efforts go to support very worthy causes.
