There are plenty of volunteer shifts available. Whatever you fancy - Spring Fling stalls, as well as setup and pack down.

If you have any questions about what is involved in working on a stall please get in touch via email at [email protected]

Thank you so much in advance to all our volunteers, this event can only happen with your help!

Mark your calendars - Spring Flight is around the corner! Thursday, May 28th 6pm - 9pm.

Calling for donations! The Spring Fling relies on the kindness and generosity of our community to help out and donate goods to be sold at our always popular stalls.

The BC Children’s Hospital Race for the Kids is back! Sunday, June 7th, 2026.

BC’s largest family fun run helps support the incredible work being done at BC Children’s Hospital. Whether it be for small injuries or even the much larger, unexpected issues, all of our families are so very grateful for the amazing care our kids receive at BC Children’s Hospital.

Last year, Charles Dickens Dragons had over 100 runners & supporters and together, we raised $12, 942! Our goal this year is to reach $14,000.

The fun run is a 2km or 5km walk / run around Queen Elizabeth Park.

We look forward to another fantastic Dickens turnout at this year’s RBC Race for the Kids.
