Students in Summerside looking for summer employment have until 4:00 PM on April 6, 2026, to apply for three new positions with Culture Summerside. The city department is hiring a Public Programming Assistant, a Museum Educator, and an Archives & Research Assistant to support its work in preserving and celebrating local heritage.
Each of these roles offers a pay rate of $17.25 per hour for a 37.5-hour work week. This rate sits just above the provincial minimum wage in Prince Edward Island, which is set to rise to $17.00 per hour on April 1, 2026.
These positions provide opportunities to work across several local heritage sites, including the Lefurgey Cultural Centre, the Wyatt House Museum, the Summerside Interpretive Centre, the PEI Fox Museum, and the MacNaught History Centre and Archives. The work is designed to help students gain experience in the arts, heritage, and education sectors within their own community.
Those interested in the roles can contact the department team, including Director Lori Ellis, Archivist Howard Chappelle, or Cultural Programmer Sara Barrett, for more information. The hiring process aligns with the timing of the Jobs for Youth and Post-Secondary Student Programs offered through the provincial government agency SkillsPEI, which provides support for student employment across the province.
