As a Legislature Guide you will be responsible for delivering structured public programs and engaging visitor experiences in the Legislature Building, Visitor Centre and on the Legislature Grounds.

Contribute to an engaged workplace

You bring strong conversational communication skills in English. Additional language competencies in French or another second language are considered an asset. Your ability to simplify and explain complex concepts is exceptional, and your enthusiasm is infectious.
