Volunteer: Evening Dino Lab Introduction & Safety Orientation 2025

Help us clean our fossils during the Evening!


The Dino Lab has the largest volunteer corps on the University Campus, and has had this distinction for a number of years. This is a fact we are both proud of, and very appreciative of as if we didn't have volunteers we would never get anywhere near the amount of specimens prepared that we do.
The opportunity you are currently looking at is for the required Safety Orientation (as per OHS regulations) for potential Volunteers and Students (both Undergraduate & Graduate) who wish to work in the Palaeontological Preparation Lab, and takes approximately 30 minutes.

Please sign up for only one shift in this opportunity, extra shifts booked will be deleted.

Once you have completed it, you will then be able to access the general scheduled for shifts. In the event you find you are unable to make your shift, please log in and update/cancel your booking so others can have your spot.

Our Labs

The University operates two preparation labs. The Daytime Lab is operated by the preparatory staff, and runs from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. weekdays. It is located in basement of Biological Sciences CW-005. We also have an Evening Dino Lab is operated by the Graduate Students that runs from 5 pm to 7 pm Monday through Thursday from approximately the second week of September to the First week of April. It is located on the 4th floor of the Microbiology Wing in Biological Sciences.

If you are interested in the Day Lab then please sign up for the "Daytime Dino Lab Introduction & Safety Orientation". If you wish to be able to work in both labs then you will have to do both orientation tours.

Health

As you are working with dirt and sharp instruments we strongly recommend that your vaccinations for Tetanus be up to date. Health Canada recommends a tetanus booster every 10 years.

Age Restrictions
University regulations state that volunteers working alone (with no supervision) have to be 18 years or older. If you are interested in volunteering but are under 18 then we would welcome a parent or guardian to volunteer with you as well. Please contact us for further information, as there is a special volunteer waiver for those people under 18.

High School Students
High School Students who attend participating schools can get credit by volunteering in the lab, please see your school counsellor or work-experience co-ordinator for more information.
