We are looking for the next Saskatchewanderer.
The Ministries of Parks Culture and Sport, Economy, Agriculture and Tourism Saskatchewan are looking for an enthusiastic, outgoing self-starter with a love for social media and a passion for Saskatchewan.
We want you to live, work and play in Saskatchewan from January to December of 2017. And we don’t expect you to do it for free—we’re prepared to pay our Saskatchewanderer between $55,000 and $60,000 per year.
We want you to discover the people and places that make our province the diverse, vibrant place that it is. The 2016 Saskatchewanderer, Neil Fisher, travelled to Selwyn Lake in Northern Saskatchewan to fish, explore the Athabasca Sand Dunes and see the largest waterfall in Saskatchewan. Neil visited the Richardson farm near Delisle, learning what a year in the life of a Saskatchewan farmer is like, and he also spent a day with Kristen McAdam, an aircraft maintenance engineer in La Ronge who helps protect communities threatened by fire by keeping the province’s fleet of air tankers in the air.
Neil shared all of these experiences through videos, photos and written posts. We want you to do just that. But we want you to find new people, new businesses and new spots to satisfy those suffering from a little Saskatchewanderlust.
Where will you wander?
Help develop a calendar of events and then hit the road to collect video, take pictures and write stories about your experiences.
As a Saskatchewan ambassador, you will promote our province to the world, showing what it’s like to live, work and play in our province. Some of your responsibilities will include: choosing locations and events to explore, setting up and conducting interviews, shooting and editing video, writing stories and populating a blog, Facebook, Twitter and Instagram with high-quality content that shows off the best of Saskatchewan. You will need to be able to work well independently, since most of the time you’ll be on the road on your own.
