iCanHelp is a volunteer-based platform initially introduced to develop a regulated and streamlined volunteer system for the City of Richmond as part of its contribution to the organisation of the 2010 Winter Olympics.

The online platform is an end-to-end resource management tool focused on servicing sporting events and related activities with volunteers. It has been specifically designed to match the demand side in the form of event organisers with the supply side in the form of local citizens keen to volunteer their time and service. The system has remained in place as part of the legacy for the 2010 Winter Olympics. Over 9,000 volunteers are registered on the database and this has contributed to the successful staging of numerous sporting events in the years since the Vancouver Games.
