Duties:


As the bilingual Partnering, Engagement and Communications Officer for the PEI Field Unit, you will join a dynamic, passionate and energetic team.

You will work closely with a multi-disciplinary team of specialists and help facilitate communications and media relations on a regular basis.

You will work with the team to help maintain relationships with a variety of external stakeholders.

You will play a key role in engaging the public, partners and stakeholders to help them understand, appreciate and protect Parks Canada-administered sites on Prince Edward Island.

Do you love PEI's north shore? Are you inspired by nature? Intrigued by Canadian history? Passionate about the environment and Canada's protected areas?

By joining the Parks Canada-PEI team, PEI National Park will become your new workplace.

Working with the External Relations team, you will have room for lots of creativity in how we connect Canadians, stakeholders and partners with parks and sites.

Sharing visitor information, finding those hidden gems, protecting fragile habitats and endangered species, and sharing the insider stories about Parks Canada administered places are what makes our work unique.

You will be part of a fast-paced work environment, as PEI National Park—a cornerstone in the tourism industry-welcomes upwards of 700,000 visitors a year, and Green Gables Heritage Place, an international icon, remains one of PEI's most popular daytime destinations.
