Each year the Prince Rupert Branch of the BC SPCA relies on hundreds of volunteers, who have a variety of interests and talents, to provide care and improve the welfare of animals in our communities. 

Volunteer at the BC SPCA

You can volunteer with the animals, working hands with our furry friends. Or you can volunteer for the animals, as a community council member or event assistant. Email us or visit our main volunteer section page for more information.

Community Council Committees

To assist the society in achieving its goals it is critical that Community Councils throughout the province are actively involved. While the BC SPCA's Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the governance and decision-making of the society, the Community Council's input to local, regional and society plans and programs is vital to our ongoing success.
