Candidates should possess the following:

  1. Bachelor's degree required, Master's degree preferred – discipline broadly in community, sport, and/or health;
  2. Experience in knowledge mobilization of research;
  3. Demonstrated experience working with partners in sport, wellness, health, active living & recreation;

  9. Excellent organizational, time management, and planning skills;
  10. Knowledge of the local and regional community would be an asset;
  11. Minimum 1-3 years related experience.
