Parks Canada is looking for youth for jobs this year!
The Youth Employment and Skills Strategy (YESS) is a Federal jobs initiative targeted at young Canadians aged 15 to 30. It supports the creation of job opportunities, with a particular focus on young people facing barriers. The purpose is to increase employment for youth, enabling them to gain work experience, to develop skills, and to extend their networks. Parks Canada is really excited to participate in this initiative, and youth can make a difference in our national parks, national historic sites and our sites across Canada! Parks Canada is committed to being a diverse and inclusive workplace by embracing this initiative, and encourages applications by youth facing barriers to employment, in particular Indigenous, visible minorities, and persons with disabilities.
It is our intent to gather information from all potential candidates no later than Sunday, March 28, 2021, so that we can have managers begin the assessment process. There may be positions that come available at a later date, so we will continue to accept program packages, but candidates who submit after the deadline may not have the opportunity to be considered for this first round of assessments.
Who is eligible?
To be eligible for YESS, you must be:
- Between 15 and 30 years old
- Canadian Citizen, permanent resident or legally entitled to work in Canada
- In addition, preference may be given to candidates who self-identify as Indigenous, visible minorities or persons with disabilities as well as youth facing barriers to employment. As such we encourage you to self-identify in your application.

The
SOAR Summer Innovation Camp is an interactive virtual program designed
to immerse students in Grades 7-12 in the world of entrepreneurship
and innovation through project-based learning challenges. Camp
participants will have the opportunity to engage in live workshops, take
part in design challenges, learn from diverse entrepreneur guest
speakers/mentors, and collaborate with like minded peers
to create their own ventures. This is the second year I am running the
program as a result of the success of last year's camp, which saw
students across Canada and as far as Australia learning together. This
year's camp program will be offered in two 4-week
sessions for students (July 5th-30th; August 3rd-27th).
Further information about this year's program is available at soaredu.ca/soar-summer-programs.
The registration form is directly available at tinyurl.com/SOAR2021Signup. Although there is a fee involved in the camp, we are working to establish
bursaries to ensure greater equity for all interested to participate.
This summer you can earn credits with the SCDSB and the YMCA of Simcoe/Muskoka at Geneva Park. See the Geneva Park brochure for more information.
