The opportunity is funded through the federal government’s Canada Summer Job (CSJ) program.
We’re looking for a proactive self-starter who’s highly organized and great at managing time. You’re an excellent communicator—both in writing and in conversation—and you bring a positive, can-do attitude to everything you do.
