Parks Canada has opened recruitment for an Interpretation Officer / Coordinator II based in Churchill, Manitoba, for the 2026 operating season, with the position scheduled to start in April 2026. The term role is responsible for planning, coordinating and delivering interpretive programming — including guided walks, visitor-centre exhibits and theatre programs — and for helping tell the region’s natural and cultural history, with emphasis on Wapusk National Park’s polar bear denning ecosystems and nearby historic sites.
The role is based at the Parks Canada Visitor Centre in the historic VIA Rail train station in Churchill and includes supervising a team of heritage presenters (heritage interpreters). According to the Wapusk National Park Management Plan, a central strategy for park management is “working toward greater participation of regional Indigenous Peoples and expanded presentation of Indigenous culture,” which this position helps to implement.
The permanent location in Churchill means the position represents a higher-level seasonal career opportunity for town residents who wish to work locally rather than be flown in. The assignment typically runs through the Bear Season peak, which generally wraps up in November.
Parks Canada and the Government of Canada are accepting applications for the role through the federal jobs portal (GC Jobs). The application deadline is listed as Feb. 1, 2026. For background on the park’s objectives around Indigenous participation and interpretation see the Wapusk National Park Management Plan and Parks Canada careers page.
