Canadian Parks and Wilderness Society - Ottawa Valley is looking for an outreach coordinator to set up information events to let the public know who we are, what we are doing and to promote our major campaigns such as our Make it a real park campaign.

Your role would be to research and book events such as sporting events, festivals, community events and kiosks in malls, stores or markets and to manage the outreach volunteer team.

We will provide you with information about our organization, our campaigns, give you tools to draw people in like our games or crafts for kids. Generally speaking this position does not involve fundraising, although we try to encourage visitors to our information booths to consider supporting the organization by becoming a member.

Our Make it a real park campaign is to achieve legislated protection for Gatineau Park equivalent to a national park, with boundaries protected by law. Gatineau Park's 361 square kilometers are home to 118 rare or endangered species and 50 lakes. Connections of natural areas are essential to the movement of species, and therefore the health of the park. Roads and development threaten this connectivity in the absence of legislative protection.

Most of Gatineau Park belongs to the federal government and the National Capital Commission (NCC) manages the land, but it does not have the permanent legal protection provide to "real" national parks. Without legal protection portions of the park will continue to be subject to use for new roads, housing development and shopping centers.



A knowledge of local environmental issues and the ability to communicate orally in French and English would be considered assets for this position, but not absolute requirements.
