Message from the Canada Council for the Arts.

The Canada Council for the Arts today launched a major recruitment campaign open to all, with a priority for Indigenous, Black, racialized and Deaf applicants, as well as applicants with disabilities. We need your help to get the word out about these job opportunities and to encourage skilled, committed, and innovative people to submit applications.

An outstanding work environment

This campaign is an invitation to work in a stimulating environment—a place where the staff are inspired by their organization’s mission. In fact, the Council today was named among the top employers of the National Capital Region for 2021. We are delighted to receive this honour. Nevertheless, we can always do better to create an exemplary work environment and significantly increase the diversity of our staff.

Calling on a range of expertise

Of course, applicants can be from the arts sector, but we would also like to receive applications from other sectors of activity, because the types of expertise and perspectives we seek are not limited to the arts. In fact, the Canada Council for the Arts—like the wider arts sector—could greatly benefit from the advances in evaluation, the environment, and social and climate justice from sectors like education, community development, health, environment, and international cooperation.

I invite you to read my letter to the community and I thank you in advance for helping us lead this major recruitment campaign.

Simon Brault,
Director and CEO
