The Board of Education of School District No. 44 (North Vancouver) seeks qualified Respondents specializing in program service delivery for strategic partnership at Cheakamus Centre, an overnight field school in Brackendale, BC on the unceded territory of the Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish) Nation.  The Centre’s mission is to provide authentic, meaningful experiences connecting people to the natural world, inspiring sustainable values and behaviours.  As the owner and operator, the School District delivers experiential environmental, outdoor and Indigenous cultural education programs serving over 10,000 participants from the Sea to Sky corridor, Metro Vancouver and beyond.  Programs run year-round, ranging from single day visits to multi-day overnight programs for children, youth and adults. 

The successful Respondent will manage delivery of a range of programs, from day-based to multi-day overnight programs, primarily during the school year from September to June. 

The scope of programming ranges from Indigenous cultural experiences in the Cheakamus longhouse to outdoor environmental learning and leadership. Maintaining and enhancing relationships with existing educational groups is an integral part of the booking and scheduling process. 

The Respondent is also responsible for the marketing and sales of the programs to potential clients outside of the existing educational market.
