Park Clerk

---

A motivated, enthusiastic and well organized individual will be interested in this opportunity to become an integral part of the Ministry of Natural Resources' Rushing River Provincial Park team. If this sounds like you, then this opportunity is perfect for you!

Rushing River cascades over rock gouged by glaciers in a series of rapids but elsewhere is passable by canoe. A forest fire in 1910 cracked open pine cones and scattered heat-resistant seeds, resulting in trees all the same height around Dogtooth Lake. Canoe routes are easily accessible from the park.
