About us: 

 

Named the World's Top City Garden by National Geographic, voted Garden of
the Year 2012 by the Garden Tourism Council of Canada and awarded 'Places
that Matter' status by the Vancouver Heritage Foundation, the Dr. Sun
Yat-Sen Classical Chinese Garden is truly a place of urban zen. Located in
the heart of Chinatown, the Garden sees and serves over 100,000 visitors
annually.  Our story can be found at
<http://www.vancouverchinesegarden.com> www.vancouverchinesegarden.com 

 

Our Vision: to be a world-class experience while fostering intercultural
harmony and understanding

 

Our Mission: to bring together cultures and communities through a classical
Chinese garden

 

We Value:

.        Community Engagement

.        Inclusive Participation

.        Experiential Learning 

.        Continuous Improvement

 

 

The way we live our values and beliefs: 

.         We're a supportive team of professionals, enthusiastic about our
work and each other. We work, plan, strategize, sometimes cry, and laugh
together. We coach, supervise, share, and mentor while exchanging life
stories, professional experiences, travel tips and favorite recipes. We mean
business, but like to have fun.

 

.         We're adventurous. We've hosted performers from around the world,
paraded through the streets of Chinatown with a life size horse sculpture,
meditated with monks and marveled over the construction of an intricate sand
mandala, cooked up a hot pot feast in the lunch room, and are getting
exhausted by even mentioning all of it.

 

Now it's YOUR turn: 

 

You are a strong team member who knows that your bookkeeping and
administrative tasks are vital to the smooth functioning of this dynamic
organization. You are familiar with Sage 50 software, Point-of-Sales,
benefit management, accounts payable, accounts receivable invoicing and
banking, payroll, budgeting and financial reporting. You are organized, have
an eye for detail and are comfortable with being both self-directed and
being part of a team. You know that creativity and success come from having
a system, framework and parameters.

 

.         You inspire confidence and make people feel supported.  You excel
at efficiency, accuracy and building an ever stronger financial system.

 

.         You love mentoring and assisting team members in understanding the
finances of their programs in order to increase revenue.   

 

.         You are a whiz with numbers and can deftly match information to
organizational needs. You like problem-solving.

 

.         You are experienced and current on the accounting rules and
guidelines and are someone who can see beyond current circumstances to
identify efficiencies and opportunities that will create a lasting impact on
the organization.  

 

.         You excel at noticing details that make a difference.  

 

.         You are focused on the support of revenue generation and want to
see the Garden thrive, but, you also know the value of teamwork.

*	You have broad and extensive experience in the not-for-profit
sector.
