**Work at CBC/Radio-Canada**
- At CBC/Radio-Canada, we create content that informs, entertains and connects Canadians on multiple platforms. Our successes and accomplishments are driven by embodying and upholding values, which include creativity, integrity, inclusiveness and relevance.
- Do you think you have the ability and drive to keep up with this exciting, ever-changing industry? Whether it be in front of the camera, on air, online or behind the scenes, you would be joining a team that thrives on making connections and telling stories that are important to Canadians.

**Your role**
- Do you thrive in the fast-paced world of live and breaking news? Do you have a range of television news experience and a passion for storytelling? Can you go off script in a moment's notice and drive a breaking news story with a calm, cool presence that assures and informs the audience?
- CBC News Network, Canada’s number one live and breaking news network, is looking for an on-air host for weekend evenings. The range of news and the expectations of our audience require you to be an engaging, energetic, spontaneous and enthusiastic on-air personality.

You’re attuned to the changing face of Canada and the stories that matter to people in all parts of the country.
- You have a keen interest in breaking news and breaking developments on the top stories of the day. You are comfortable going off script and ad libbing around any type of news story.
- As a leader, you’re a mentor, a coach and a collaborator. You work in partnership with the senior and executive producers to create dynamic coverage and bring the best out of the team daily.
- Insatiable curiosity, openness to diverse perspectives and ideas, and a sense of humour are characteristics you embody both on-air and behind the scenes. You live and promote the values of an inclusive and respectful work culture. Your work is governed by and follows CBC Journalistic Standards and Practices and programming policies.

- Navigate live and pre-taped interviews.
- Steer multiple stories and topics on-air during breaking and live coverage.
