HIRING AN EVENT AND COMMUNICATIONS PLANNER

You love creating events that bring people together to celebrate art, culture, creativity, music and diversity. You get a kick out of seeing it all come together as people celebrate their community and make it an even better place to live. You’re a list maker and an inventor. You can come up with whole new concepts that improve an event or imagine a new take on old ideas. You have a big imagination and can deliver what you dream up. You understand the value of solid communications so that people are excited to attend the events you create. You know how to maximize mainstream and social media to draw a crowd. You love digging around to find donors, grants and sponsors who love your projects as much as you do. You like working alongside volunteers of all ages. Sounds like you? Or someone you know?

Red River North Tourism, headquartered in Selkirk, Manitoba (40 minutes north of Winnipeg) is looking for a creative event and communications planner for its two tourism initiatives HomesForTheHolidaysRedRiverNorth.ca and HolidayAlley.ca
