Unusual number of job opportunities regional district

Looking for work?

The Regional District of Okanagan-Similkameen may have just the position you’re looking for.

The regional district is currently advertising a variety of jobs, both full time and part time, according to its website.

They include:

  • Head lifeguard at Keremeos swimming pool, temporary full-time
  • Lifeguard/swim instructor, temporary part-time
  • Projects coordinator, regular part-time
  • Planner 1, regular full-time
  • Labourer, parks and facilities, regular, part-time
  • Labourer, parks and facilities, seasonal

Erick Thompson with the regional district says they don't normally have that many job vacancies all at the same time.

“I think it’s a combination of factors, a couple of vacancies opened up, and of course summer activities are starting to ramp up," Thompson said. "Hiring does have its own ebb and flow.”

I have been looking for news in the South Okanagan - SImilkameen for 20 years, having turned a part time lifelong interest into a full time profession. After five years publishing a local newsletter, several years working as a correspondent / stringer for several local newspapers and seven years as editor of a Similkameen weekly newspaper, I joined iNFOnews.ca in 2014. My goal in the news industry has always been to deliver accurate and interesting articles about local people and places. My interest in the profession is life long - from my earliest memories of grade school, I have enjoyed writing.
As an airborne geophysical surveyor I travelled extensively around the globe, conducting helicopter borne mineral surveys.
I also spent several years at an Okanagan Falls based lumber mill, producing glued-wood laminated products.
As a member of the Kaleden community, I have been involved in the Kaleden Volunteer Fire Department for 22 years, and also serve as a trustee on the Kaleden Irrigation District board.
I am currently married to my wife Judy, of 26 years. We are empty-nesters who enjoy living in Kaleden with our Welsh Terrier, Angus, and cat, Tibbs.
Our two daughters, Meagan and Hayley, reside in Richmond and Victoria, respectively.
