What's New?

Dear Temps,

Happy Monday!

We have two terrific jobs to feature today - one in Whitehorse and the other in Montreal.

If I was earlier in my career, I would kill to take a one year secondment to work in Whitehorse as a multiplatform producer. This is an exciting time to work in the North and a terrific opportunity to hone your skills. Even if you cannot commit for the full year (April 2026-April 2027),  reach out to Claudiane Samson and let her know you would like to be considered for backfilling a shorter duration. Details of the job are below. 

Need inspiration to work in the North - check out Mykella Van Cooten’s story of leaving Toronto as a Temp to take up a permanent position in Yellowknife.

There’s a sweet part time newsreader opening…that gets you to Montreal with the possibility of picking up more work along the way. Read more about this job below.

And lastly…apply, apply, apply!

Warm regards,

Sujata
