Miners Memorial hosts a series of events including Song of the Workers and a graveside vigil commemorating the lives lost and pays tribute to those who fought on their behalf for safer working conditions. This time-honoured event upholds the commitment to continue the fight for workers of today and commemorates the loss of over 300 lives in Cumberland mines, who never returned home after a day of work. Without our generous volunteers, this event would not be possible, so thank you for offering your time and skills to help us with Miners Memorial 2026.

We are looking for volunteers for Songs of the Workers (June 12th), the Graveside Vigil (June 13th) and the Community Cold Lunch (June 13th). Listed below are the various roles and the time commitment required. Please select your preferred position for the events listed below. If you are unable to volunteer during the scheduled time or have further questions please reach out to info@cumberlandmuseum.ca.
