- Supportive: someone who enjoys providing excellent service, and who thinks of ways to assist whether or not asked to do so.
- Detail-Oriented: someone who can proofread, has an eye for design, and takes pride in making things look nice.
- Tech-savvy: someone who understands technology, and can help others see the value in technological innovation.
- Reflective: someone who knows and understands the history of colonialism in this country, and wants to work to support Indigenous self-determination and sovereignty.
It is of primary importance that the right candidate be dedicated to serving the communities of Treaty 9, Treaty 5, Treaty 3 and Robinson Superior treaty areas.
