Multi-cultural Festival, six public art projects showcasing the 
community's cultural diversity and its fascinating natural history and 
an international new media project for youth called Glocal. Surrey will 
also be participating in the 2009 and 2010 Cultural Olympiad Festivals.

moment and to ensure our commitment to exceptional parks, recreation, 
arts, and heritage services we are looking to hire an exceptional and 
talented:

A Grade 12 graduate, you hold a degree/diploma in a relevant discipline

communication skills, a valid BC Driver's License and an Occupational 
First Aid Level One Certificate.

Our workplace, the Surrey Arts Centre, is centrally located and is set
