Mature movie lovers wanted: The Ottawa Family Cinema Foundation is a non-profit movie theatre run by volunteers in west end Ottawa. Shows are every Saturday and every second Friday from September to May. Volunteers are responsible for helping in the following areas: staffing the snack bar, ushering visitors, selling tickets, stage work, helping with birthday parties or child care and assisting with the operation of the projection equipment. Mature volunteers are needed — those who are able to make a commitment to work at least two shifts per month for the season. Training and orientation are provided. Great for those in Westboro — bring a friend and volunteer together. Contact Nancy Bradley at coordinator@familycinema.ca or register online at Familycinema.ca under Volunteer Login/Registration.
