Cobalt Connects Volunteer Application 2026

Thank you for your interest in volunteering with Cobalt Connects for Hamilton Winterfest and/or the Burlington Waterfront Sculpture Trail.

Hamilton Winterfest 2026 will run from January 31 - February 16.
This year, we will not be offering a HUB or POP experience. Instead, we are working with various organizations throughout the city to bring a selection of Signature Events as well as heavily promoting community events that are happening within this time.

Cobalt Connects will require volunteers for some of the Signature Events, including our Family Day Celebration at the Cotton Factory.

BWST 2026 will run from April 11 - May 31.
Cobalt Connects will require volunteers for random dates throughout the exhibit, including our event nights and our Family Fun Day in the Park.

Please complete the survey questions below so our team can help build a volunteer experience that makes your time with us meaningful.

Many thanks!
