The full job description is available here.

The Deadline for applications is Tuesday's October 18th

Had the position already been filled, the last six weeks would have offered the candidate a fairly heavy workload of keeping track of issues of note from both civic officials and Scrap the Tax petition organizers.

Something which would have reinforced the key focus of keeping Port officials up to date on municipal themes, in this case on the scope of that initiative and the flow of information that was distributed as part of it.

Depending on how the Municipal Election turns out and how the new council to come chooses to mark its engagement on issues, that could become an ongoing mission; or one which ebbs and flows depending on the situations that come up in the months and years ahead.
