Indigenous Hiring Preference
We prioritize hiring qualified Indigenous candidates, including First Nations, Métis, and Inuit individuals, to help build teams that reflect the lived experiences of the communities we serve.

If you feel comfortable, you are invited to self-identify as Indigenous in your application. We recognize the impacts of colonization and respect that this is a personal decision. Any information shared will be kept confidential and used only for the purposes of the hiring process.
