Balance Between Personal and Professional Lives - To encourage work/home balance, we offer certain possibilities for flexible hours, a compressed work week and alternative work arrangements such as telework (where operationally possible).

Commitment to Employment Equity - We are committed to having a skilled, diversified workforce reflective of Canadian society, and to the equitable representation of women (especially in non-traditional occupational groups), aboriginal peoples, persons with a disability and members of a visible minority group. We encourage members of these designated groups to self-identify.

On-the-Job Training - Regular feedback through coaching and mentoring from your manager, attendance at conferences and participation in workshops are other means by which you can continue your development.

Opportunities for Advancement - We provide opportunities for talented individuals to advance within the organization.
