Vancouver Maritime Museum - Executive Director

Organization

For more than 60 years Vancouver Maritime Museum (VMM) has been sharing stories about maritime heritage in British Columbia and the Canadian Arctic that reflect a diverse range of voices. Its mission is to be a centre for dialogue, research, expression, and experience regarding the maritime heritage of the Pacific and Arctic Oceans and its vision is to be a world class maritime museum and heritage centre. It strives to build a shared sense of belonging within its community by inspiring visitors to appreciate the profound relationship between humans and the sea.

VMM is nestled in Vanier Park in the Kitsilano neighbourhood of Vancouver, an ancestral fishing ground known as Sen̓áḵw to the Squamish Nation. Strengthening its connections with First Nations communities, VMM offers activities curated by First Nations representatives, through workshops, collecting, and collaborations with First Nations and other cultural institutions. The museum is committed to highlighting a greater diversity of stories reflecting Indigenous coastal communities and people from diverse west coast cultures, pro-actively seeking out and documenting the maritime heritage of the future.

Selected in 2020 by The Georgia Straight as one of the top museums in Vancouver, VMM tells the stories of the people, vessels, and diverse maritime heritage of the Pacific and Arctic Oceans. It seeks to build partnerships with interested organizations to engage its diverse community, stakeholders, and visitors with inclusive educational and experiential events. VMM conforms to the highest ethical, industry, and fiduciary standards to ensure that the trust and confidence of the community, individuals, institutions, and maritime industry are maintained and nurtured. Its goal is to deliver inclusive opportunities for entertainment, education, exploration, and artistic expression.

As the primary repository for maritime history on the west coast of Canada, VMM houses more than 15,000 artifacts, a significant portion of which is owned by the City of Vancouver but managed, preserved, curated, and exhibited by the non-profit Vancouver Maritime Museum Society. Built principally on cultural and scientific artifact donations, VMM holdings reflect the region’s maritime history drawn from European, Asian, North American, and Indigenous sources. Programs cover a vast range of marine-related topics, including shipwrecks, lighthouses and steamship lines, coastal trade, deep-ocean exploration, and the interaction of coastal communities with the sea. The Leonard G. McCann Archives, named for the VMM’s late Curator Emeritus, consists of archival materials related to vessels, shipping companies, and maritime personalities. The collections exist in a variety of formats, including 60 metres of processed textual records, approximately 125,000 photographs, 2,700 ship plans, and maps and charts dating from 1892 to the present day. Best-loved items include material relating to Canadian Pacific steamships and original hand-drawn charts from Captain Cook's exploration of the Pacific. The Archives is accompanied by a library, which houses more than 12,000 books related to maritime history and education. Prior to the pandemic, the Archives received approximately 500 reference requests per year.

Among VMM’s most visited permanent exhibits is the National Historic Site, St. Roch, an arctic exploration vessel used by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and the first vessel to make the west-east traverse and travel both directions of the Northwest Passage. Outdoor displays include the NASA undersea research vessel Ben Franklin and the boiler of the Beaver, the first steamship in the Pacific Northwest. The museum hosts extensive galleries of model ships, a Children's Maritime Discovery Centre, a re-creation of the forecastle of Captain Vancouver's ship Discovery, and an extensive collection of maritime art that reflects local historic and contemporary artists.

In 2019, VMM served more than 70,000 participants through a wide range of public programs, school programs, and outreach, including workshops, lectures, book readings, tours, and other events. School programs and educational outreach resources reached more than 6,000 students and adults. The Museum Shop specializes in maritime books, models, and Royal Canadian Mounted Police souvenirs. With one of the best views in town, the museum has a robust rental program for corporate and private events. The VMM regularly participates in and partners with community events such as Divers’ Weekend, Richmond Maritime Festival, Heritage Harbour, and Riverfest.

Led by Board Chair Peter Bernard, the VMM board of trustees are from diverse parts of the community representing areas of archeology, public relations, communications, First Nations, naval architecture, shipbuilding, legal, government, education, and port management. VMM is managed by 14 dedicated and capable staff members, supplemented by an auxiliary visitor services team, and has more 70 regular volunteers. VMM’s 2019 pre-pandemic revenues were approximately $1.6 million, including 50 percent from government and operating grants; 15 percent from admissions; 13 percent from donations, sponsorships, events, and memberships; and the balance from rentals, parking, retail, and other revenues. The resilience of VMM’s staff, volunteers, and board members in the face of COVID resulted in membership growth and balanced 2020 financial results.

 

Community

Vancouver is situated on the traditional territories and unceded lands of the xʷməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), and Səl̓ílwətaʔ/Selilwitulh (Tsleil-Waututh). It was designated a City of Reconciliation on July 8, 2014, with a view to form a sustained relationship of mutual respect and understanding with local First Nations and the Urban Indigenous Community. The City of Vancouver has committed to a new culture plan, Culture/Shift, to transform how arts and culture are integrated into every facet of the city and the decisions that shape it in ways that equitably reflect its diversity. Coupled with a renewed master plan for the city’s parks, VanPlay, Vancouver is poised to benefit from abundant opportunities for inclusion and access. VMM’s Vanier Park location is also home to the H.R. MacMillan Space Centre, Museum of Vancouver, Vancouver Academy of Music, and the summer Shakespeare festival, Bard on the Beach.

Hosting the 2010 Winter Olympics and Paralympics launched Vancouver into international renown as a world class city. It is consistently ranked as one of the most livable cities in the world, celebrated for its striking natural beauty and easy access to beaches, mountains, and the great outdoors. Its mild climate and proximity to the ocean and mountains combine to make Vancouver a year-round playground. Sailing, swimming, windsurfing, cycling, skiing, snowboarding, and hiking are all readily accessible. Located in the City’s centre, the spectacular Stanley Park offers 22 kilometres of pathways for walking, cycling, running, and rollerblading.

Vancouver is one of North America’s most cosmopolitan cities and one of the most important gateways to Asia. This diversity contributes to a thriving art, theatre, and music scene. Arts and culture aficionados can enjoy a multitude of events, including the Vancouver International Film Festival, Vancouver International Jazz Festival, Vancouver Folk Music Festival, and Festival d'été francophone de Vancouver. The PuSh International Performing Arts Festival presents theatre, dance, music, and multimedia performances by Canadian and international artists. The city is also home to more than 50 professional theatre companies that host acclaimed operas, musical performances, and Broadway shows, as well as numerous museums, galleries, and visual art organizations.

Both Condé Nast Traveler and Food & Wine magazines recently named Vancouver as one of the world’s best food cities. Local and exotic fresh ingredients and seafood that reflect the area’s varied cultures are readily found in many local farmers’ markets and at the Granville Island Public Market. Microbreweries and distilleries dot the city’s diverse neighbourhoods. Vancouver is also home to several professional sports teams, including the three-time Stanley Cup finalists Vancouver Canucks, the Major League Soccer Vancouver Whitecaps FC, and the six-time Grey Cup winning BC Lions, who have played in the Canadian Football League since 1954.

The educational system in British Columbia is ranked first in Canada and is only behind Finland and Japan among peer countries. The University of British Columbia is a global centre for research and teaching and is consistently listed among the top 20 public universities in the world. Consistently ranked as Canada's top comprehensive university, Simon Fraser University has ranked in the top 50 of the Times Higher Education list of 100 world universities. For students seeking careers in film and television, the Vancouver Film School provides world-class training and hands-on production experience. The city is also a popular filming location.

Relevant du directeur général, la titulaire du poste participera aux activités quotidiennes du CRHSC afin de soutenir l'organisme et ses projets. Ce poste exige que la titulaire soit à l'aise avec de nombreuses fonctions dans un rôle administratif au sein d'un organisme national sans but lucratif/caritatif.

À propos de l'organisme

Le Conseil des ressources humaines du secteur culturel (CRHSC) est un organisme national à but non-lucratif avec statut d’œuvre caritative. Le CRHSC a pour mission de renforcer la main-d'œuvre de la culture au Canada en démontrant du leadership, en trouvant des solutions innovatrices aux problèmes de ressources humaines et en améliorant l'environnement du secteur culturel en matière de ressources humaines. Le CRHSC réunit les établissements (entreprises privées et organismes à but non-lucratif) et les individus (tous les travailleurs culturel) de toutes les industries et disciplines culturelles comprenant les arts de la scène, la création littéraire et l'édition, les arts visuels et les métiers d'art, le cinéma et la radiotélé-diffusion, les médias numériques, la musique et l'enregistrement sonore et le patrimoine. Le CRHSC traite également de sujets interreliés dont la gestion culturelle, la gestion de carrière et le marketing à l'exportation : le tout, dans les deux langues officielles.

Rôle dans l'organisme

En collaboration avec le directeur général, les entrepreneurs et les collaborateurs du CRHSC, l'agente d’administration et des communications veille aux opérations et aux processus qui peuvent inclure, sans s'y limiter à, des aspects tels que les finances, les suivis de contrats, la coordination de projets, la tenue de dossiers et la gestion de l'information, les services aux clients et aux membres et les communications. Des responsabilités décisionnelles raisonnables peuvent être déléguées à la titulaire afin d'éviter la micro-gestion.

Le CRHSC souscrit aux principes de l'égalité d'accès à l'emploi. Les candidates sont encouragées à s’auto-identifier.

Le CRHSC se conforme à son Code de conduite pour les arts de la scène[1] comme ligne directrice pour un milieu de travail respectueux.

Conditions

Le premier contrat débutera en mai 2021 et coïncidera avec l'exercice financier se terminant le 31 mars 2022. Par la suite, ce poste est un contrat de travail renouvelable d'un an, sous réserve d'une évaluation du rendement annuelle satisfaisante et de l'approbation du budget par le conseil d'administration.

L'horaire et les heures de travail sont principalement durant le jour les jours de semaine dans le fuseau horaire de l'Est. En raison de l'envergure nationale du CRHSC et des projets en cours, la flexibilité des horaires est attendue (certains matins, soirs et week-ends) et encouragée en vue d'un équilibre sain entre le travail et la vie privée. La culture organisationnelle est conviviale et accommodante.

Le bureau officiel du CRHSC est situé dans un bureau partagé à Ottawa (Ontario). Tous les employés et entrepreneurs de l'organisme travaillent à distance. Ce poste exige que la titulaire soit physiquement présente à Ottawa plus d'une fois par semaine pour diverses raisons. Si et quand les restrictions liées à la pandémie sont levées, des réunions hebdomadaires sont à prévoir. Sinon, la titulaire travaille à distance depuis son domicile ou tout autre endroit (au Canada) où elle peut le faire en toute sécurité et dans le respect de l'horaire flexible décrit ci-dessus.
