THE ROLE
Imagine the excitement of coordinating and delivering recreation programs and services to the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) and partner nations in a deployed environment for six months

You play an important role in enhancing the morale of those deployed by planning recreational activities, overseeing recreation clubs, and planning excursions, outings and events.
