About the TNRD

The Thompson-Nicola Regional District is located in south-central British Columbia, with dozens rural and urban communities spread across 44,300 square kilometres. The TNRD provides more than 120 local government services to approximately 144,000 people in 10 Electoral Areas, 11 member municipalities, and 25 First Nations.

The TNRD is headquartered in the City of Kamloops, the largest community within the regional district. The Thompson-Nicola region has a vast range of climates, with true four-season weather, plenty of year-round sunshine, little rain, and warm summers. Residents generally have short commutes, easy access to recreation and the outdoors, and a high quality of life. The TNRD acknowledges that we are located within the unceded, ancestral lands of the Nlaka'pumux, Secwépemc, St'at'imc, and Syilx Nations.

The Role:

The Invasive Plant Summer Student will be responsible for supporting the coordination and delivery of the Thompson-Nicola Invasive Plant Management Committees (TNIPMC) (administered by the TNRD) education and outreach program, as well as supporting the TNRD's operational invasive plant program. The invasive plant summer student will work primarily in the field with limited office time.

Operational activities will include supporting the TNRD's biological control program by assisting with biological control agent collections and delivery to private landowners, carrying out invasive plant inventories throughout the region and across multiple jurisdictions, carrying out manual removal of invasive plants, completing data collection records, and supporting with data management.

  • Assist in developing invasive plant resources, including website content, brochures, games, videos, and other materials.
  • Help coordinate events such as field days, workshops, and training sessions.
  • Participate in targeted invasive plant inventories across various jurisdictions.
  • Assist with manual treatments, including hand-pulling, digging, and cutting of priority invasive plants.
  • Help with the collection, sorting, and release of biological control agents.
  • Assist with data collection and entry tasks.
    Support with additional integrated pest management projects and tasks as required.
