Commonwealth War Graves Commission

The CWGC is a global organization, caring for war graves at 23,000 locations in more than 150 countries and territories. We commemorate almost 1.7 million individuals, ensuring that all the Commonwealth men and women who died during both world wars are commemorated in a manner befitting their sacrifice.

In Canada, we have launched a National Volunteer Program and we are currently recruiting in Newfoundland & Labrador. The program enables those with an interest in our work to act as our eyes in their local area. Volunteers will visit their local cemeteries and gather information about the condition of CWGC war graves. Training will be provided on all aspects of the work required including how to safely clean war graves.

Volunteers will play a vital role in helping us to achieve our mandate to maintain CWGC war graves in perpetuity. Your help will make a real difference to our work commemorating the service men and women who died during the First and Second World Wars and are buried in Newfoundland & Labrador. With your help we hope to keep alive the stories of the men and women whom we commemorate.

<strong>Please note:</strong> For this volunteer position, you will need to have a smartphone with data and access to a vehicle. Be advised that this work is outside in areas where the ground is often uneven and sometimes overgrown.
