Job Description
Youth Employment & Skills Strategy (YESS) Positions for the Banff Field Unit The Youth Employment and Skills Strategy (YESS) is a Federal Government jobs initiative targeted at young Canadians aged 15 to 30. The purpose is to increase employment for youth, enabling them to gain work experience, skills, and to extend their networks. Parks Canada is committed to being a diverse and inclusive workplace by embracing this initiative, and encourages applications by youth facing barriers to employment, in particular Indigenous Canadians, members of a racialized community and persons living with disabilities.
Perform basic labour, clearing and cleaning tasks to maintain trails, walkways, campsites, shrubs, grass and culverts; and to support the building, repair and maintenance of structures (e.g. cribs, fences, signs/posts, stairways and walkways) and other general labour requirements. Operate power tools, equipment and vehicles, such as chainsaws, power whips, garden tractors, ride-on mowers, small bobcats, and light trucks for the provision of labour support (e.g. clear flower beds, mow lawns, collect and load refuse).
