We’re hiring! For the past two years, the NSMBA has received provincial government funding from Service Canada to employ a post-secondary student for 8-16 weeks over the course of the summer season. We were lucky enough to find Lea Zhecheva in 2015 and 2016, who impressed us with her diligence, enthusiasm and love of the outdoors. Will you be our student of 2017? Due to restrictions related to the grant funding, we are only able to consider candidates who meet the criteria specified in the job description.
In addition, we’re bolstering our Trail Crew. Do you have hands-on experience with trail work? Would you love the chance to learn from Digger and Pat? We need to expand our team with a person experienced in building and maintaining trails, who is physically fit and comfortable using various hand tools for trail maintenance duties. Apply now!
All job application deadlines are midnight on Sunday 30th April 2017. E-mail your resume and covering letter to info@nsmba.ca
