With a March 6 application deadline, the City of Prince Rupert looks for more casual workers

Monday night's City Council Budget Presentation provided for not only the financial blue print for 2020 but an update on the employment rolls, with the City's Financial Officer making note of the expansive footprint that the city continues to have on the labour market in the community.

In her Budget review of the range of services that the City offers to the public, CFO Corinne Bomben noted that at the moment the City hosts approximately 175 permanent employees and another 100 on the casual employment rolls.

"We work each day to keep the streets clear for commuting, the water flowing when you turn on your taps, the toilets flushing, the community safe and the places for play safe and available. 

Embedded within these, are information technology services, financial and customer support services, Communications and Dispatch, Engineering, Fleet and Building maintenance, Bylaw enforcement and Police detachment support, City Beautification and Economic Development.

We are a large employer with approximately 175 full time employees and nearly 100 casual workers, chances are you or a family member knows or related to a city worker"-- City of Prince Rupert Chief Financial Officer from her Budget Presentation from Monday.
