The Town recruits for summer student positions in Operations and Community Services, starting late January and continuing until positions are filled. You can follow our Facebook page or subscribe to our Employment Opportunity notifications on this page to be made aware of upcoming opportunities. 

Whether in person or virtual, the interview will take approximately 30 minutes to one hour, depending on the role, and will be a combination of behavioural and technical questions. You will meet with a panel of 1-3 relevant stakeholders from the department you’re applying to, as well as a representative from Human Resources. Depending on the level of the position, in addition to stakeholders from the department you’re applying to, your interview panel may include a member of the Town’s management or senior management team.

• Task: Describe what your responsibility was in that situation.
• Action: Explain exactly what steps you took to address it.
