Harbourside RibFest is our club's largest fundraiser. Thousands of volunteer hours go into organizing this mega-event that attracts tens of thousands of visitors. (Did you know that Harbourside RibFest is one of the largest volunteer-run, non-profit events in Canada?) If you are looking for an opportunity to help with the Club, this is it! RibFest runs from June 30 to July 3 at Alderney Landing in Dartmouth this year. As we get closer to these dates, you will see more detailed updates and requests for help.
