Diversity Statement
We encourage participation from the Government of Canada’s job equity groups, including women, First Nations, Métis, and Inuit persons, members of visible minority groups, persons with disabilities, and persons of any sexual orientation or gender identity and expression to apply. Research shows that women and people from underrepresented groups often apply to jobs only if they meet all of the qualifications. We recognize that it is highly unlikely that someone meets 100% of the qualifications for a role. If much of the job qualifications describe you, then please apply.
HOW TO APPLY
Please send us your resume along with a written, audio, or video cover letter demonstrating your interest in the role and how your skills, experiences, and background align with what we’re looking for.
Clearly identify which position(s) you are applying for in your submission - email (preferred) to executivedirector@coquitlamheritage.ca or 1116 Brunette Ave, Coquitlam.
Please be prepared to provide at least two professional references.
