Qualifications
We have a total of 12 volunteers that work a four hour shift each per week that are planned according to the busier periods of the flight schedule. They are all retired and most of them are very active in the community. They all like the idea of volunteering at the airport. They like the coming and going of the traffic, the excitement and sadness of people greeting and saying goodbye to their loved ones. Above all, they enjoy the satisfaction of helping a tourist arriving in the Greater Moncton area for the first time.
