Full-time, Exempt

Closing Date: 4:30 pm, Friday, May 19, 2023

If you have been here, you know how amazing it is.  If you haven’t, you really should check it out.  Bordered by rugged mountains and situated on a peninsula (no, it’s not an Island) in the traditional territory of the shíshálh (Sechelt) and Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish) First Nations, this area is known for its mild winters, beautiful surroundings, arts, recreation, and culture, and it is a preferred tourist destination and great place to live, work and play.  What do you like to do as virtually anything you might enjoy is here.  You can hike the amazing trails, bike, camp, kayak, golf, do fiber arts, crafts, snowshoe, fish, scuba dive, windsurf, or as was portrayed in the former TV show on CBC, even get into some beachcombing here on the beautiful Sunshine Coast.
