City of Prince Rupert looking for members for Recreation Commission

Another community position has become available for volunteers, as the City of Prince Rupert looks to receive applications from those interested in serving on the City's Recreation Commission.

The Commission which was created last year, examines and reports to Council regarding ways to increase participation at local recreation facilities in the city, as well as to represent local residents who make use of those facilities that are run by the city.

Members of the public interested in helping to share the future of the Recreation Department are being asked to submit their letter of inters no later than Wednesday, April 15 at 4 PM.

As part of the application process, interested applicants are required to include a written description of the skills and relevant experience that they would bring to the position on the Recreation Commission.

Those that may be interested in the position, but require more information as to what the duties are and other items of note related to the Commission's work can contact Rory Mandryk, the City's Corporate Administrator at City Hall.

Or through email at cityhall@princerupert.ca
