In recent decades, Parks Canada has worked hard to strengthen relationships with Indigenous partners. Our current approach, which views Indigenous peoples as partners in the management of Canada’s heritage places is reflected in all of the work we do, and is a shared responsibility of all Parks Canada team members.Diversity and inclusion have always been at the core of our values. Diverse teams bring different perspectives and creative ideas that benefit our clients, the communities we serve and all of us as colleagues. We welcome applications from individuals with diverse abilities and from all backgrounds and identities.
