RRCA summer staff helped install beaver baffles in 2024.

The Raisin Region Conservation Authority (RRCA) is again looking to fill a variety of seasonal
and part-time positions to support its programs and services in Cornwall and the surrounding
area of SDG. The 13 available positions will help support Conservation Area services,
environmental stewardship, administration, outreach, and more.

“Working for the RRCA is a great way for students and recent graduates to gain new skills and
experience,” says Josianne Sabourin, RRCA’s Administrative Assistant. “Each year, our
seasonal staff get involved in different aspects of the environmental programs and services we
offer to the municipalities in our watershed jurisdiction.”

One of Ontario’s 36 conservation authorities, the RRCA provides protection form natural hazards
like flooding and erosion, conserves environmentally significant land, protects municipal sources
of drinking water, fosters landowner stewardship, and provides recreation and eco-tourism
opportunities.

“If you want to experience what it’s like to work at a conservation authority, help your local
environment, and gain solid work experience, this could be your opportunity,” adds Sabourin.

Thanks to federal, provincial, and other funding sources, the RRCA can recruit seasonal talent to
support the busy field work and Conservation Area season. The RRCA also regularly hosts co-op
students and interns throughout the year. The RRCA’s skilled team of engineers, planners,
biologists, technicians, administrators, and field and outreach staff always look forward to
welcoming those who join their team in the spring.

The seasonal employment application deadline is February 7, 2025, at 4:00 pm. Find out more by
