The Project Manager contributes to the overall success of the organization by effectively implementing this important Columbia Basin project. \n\n\n\nKey components of the project are: \n\n\n\nThe Kootenay Pride Guide: this guide will comprehensively map the region and share the tools\, services\, businesses\, and organizations that directly serve the 2SLGBTQ+ community and allies. The Guide will be available in print and online versions allowing residents and visitors to readily access information. In rural areas\, it is common for people to travel to neighbouring towns for health care\, groceries\, etc. The Guide will allow them to gain insight into what services and resources are offered\, where they are\, and how to access them – an invaluable tool for Queer people in rural southeast British Columbia. Think of it as a Yellow Pages for the queer community. \n\n\n\nColumbia Basin Queer History Project: The Columbia Basin has a long history of 2SLGBTQ+ people creating change and claiming space. Our history is disappearing rapidly for a multitude of reasons as well as the fact that queer history is also a victim of rural isolation. Over the last century there are definite pockets of Queer communities surviving and thriving in the Columbia Basin but often these groups existed in quiet silos due to rural politics\, religion\, violence\, and geography. Working with Kevin Allen\, Historian in Residence at the Calgary Central Library\, author of the best-selling book: Our Past Matters: Stories of Gay Calgary\, and founder of the Calgary Gay History Project\, you will assist in the  preservation of regional Queer History which will result in a book\, website\, and travelling display materials. \n\n\n\nPhysical Requirements: The successful applicant should be able to lift tables\, chairs\, program materials\, etc when setting up for events and activities as required or have access to supports that can assist in accomplishing these tasks as required. \n\n\n\nHow to Apply: Please send a cover letter and resume as one .pdf document to info@ferniepride.ca.
