About You / What We Are Looking For
We have a new opportunity for a Community Recreation Manager to join our Community Recreation and Culture Services team Reporting to the Director, Community Recreation, Culture and Facilities, we are looking for a strong leader to oversee a diverse range of programs which could include fitness, community services, and general recreation programs for children, youth, adults and seniors. This position will also be responsible for overseeing the day-to-day operations at three to four community recreation facilities across the City at which these programs will take place. This position will be a peer to three other Community Recreation Managers overseeing other areas of community recreation including aquatics, arenas, and reception services, and to the Cultural Services Manager.

Conflict resolution, change management and customer service skills, as well as experience managing budgets and a large complement of both junior and senior staff will be critical to success.
