How to Volunteer

Thank you for your interest in volunteering with the Township of Asphodel-Norwood. 


Boards and Committees provide advice and recommendations to Council. Most committees include members of the community, as well as Council members with support from Township staff.

Volunteering on a board or committee is a great way to:

  • meet new people, and share your ideas and talents;
  • provide input into the strategic direction of the Township; and
  • make a difference in your community.

Applications are only accepted when a vacancy on a board or committee has been advertised. If a vacancy exists, the Township will advertise through its regular communication channels. 

All residents are welcome to apply by submitting an Application Form

The Township is now accepting applications for the Business Advisory Committee for the term ending November 2026.

In addition to any other qualification requirements established by resolution of Council, or the Board & Committee Terms of Reference; any persons appointed to a Board or Committee must provide the Township Clerk with:

  • a valid Criminal Record & Judicial Matters Police Check 

*Any costs incurred in obtaining a police check will be reimbursed by the Township.

With the exception of the Municipal Election Compliance Audit Committee and the Provincial Appointee to the Police Services Board; Boards and Committees of Council appointments are on a volunteer basis. No per diems are paid.

Once application submission deadlines have closed, application forms are reviewed by Council during a closed session as personal information is discussed.

Successful applicants are notified by the Township Clerk.

Terms are established within the Terms of Reference for each board and/or committee, and could range from two (2) to four (4) years.
