**Why GMF is the place for you**

At GMF, we empower our people to create change where it has the most impact - municipalities. GMF is a $1.6 billion permanent endowment from the Government of Canada, managed at arm's length, making it nimble and available for higher-risk, higher-impact initiatives. A further $530M investment into GMF to support the National Adaptation Strategy was announced in November 2022. Our team is committed to helping local governments switch to sustainable practices faster. GMF is the cornerstone program of the Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM).

Our unique mix of funding, resources, and training gives municipalities the tools they need to build resiliency — and create better lives for Canadians. Through GMF, municipalities have reduced carbon emissions; built better transportation assets; constructed efficient and resilient buildings; diverted waste from landfill; made previously unusable land available for development; and improved soil and water quality.

**You in this role**:
The Advisor, Capacity Development, develops and delivers programming to support capacity building objectives in the priority GMF areas, specifically in broad reach programming, facilitating learning, designing new or innovative learning materials or approaches, and refining GMF’s knowledge management systems.

As a member of the team, the Advisor, Capacity Development works in a manner that embraces these values, the corporate culture and the passion for FCM’s mandate.
