Thanks for helping out with this, Mike. The Festival really appreciates your support.
Just to clarify things for potential applicants, the media position is staffed under the JCP program and candidates must meet the same eligibility requirements as those for the Guest Services position. It’s a great opportunity for someone in Ottawa!
Cheers,
