ABOUT THE CANADIAN CENTRE FOR ARCHITECTURE
 
The CCA is an international research centre and museum founded on the conviction that architecture is a public concern. Based on its extensive Collection, exhibitions, programs, and research opportunities, the CCA is a leading voice in advancing knowledge, promoting public understanding, and widening thought and debate on architecture, its history, theory, practice and role in society today.
The CCA holds one of the world’s foremost international research collections of publications, conceptual studies, drawings, plans, models, prints, photographs, architectural archives, related artefacts and ephemera.
Over 50 years ago, architect Phyllis Lambert, Founding Director Emeritus, began the collection that would become the cornerstone of the institution. Today the CCA Collection, comprising works dating from the Renaissance to the present day, documents the culture of architecture worldwide. The guiding purpose of the Collection is to make comprehensive and integrated bodies of material available for advanced, interdisciplinary research in order to reveal the changing character of thought and observation pertaining to the built world, to provide evidence in depth of cultural and intellectual circles of the past, and point to the future of architectural thinking and practice.
CCA exhibitions, together with public and educational programs, forge links between architectural thinking and practice, the history of ideas, and changing social and cultural conditions. Programs are both local and international in scope.
Lectures, film screenings, seminars, colloquia, special events, and gallery talks present differing architectural ideas to the wider public at all age-levels as well as to architects and scholars, aiming to reveal the richness of architectural and urban culture and to stimulate dynamic engagement with contemporary issues and debates.
The CCA develops interdisciplinary research in all aspects of architectural thought and practice. Through its Centre (inaugurated in 1997) and its programs, seminars and colloquia, CCA supports research efforts and advances broad new lines of discourse and investigation. Linking advanced research with public engagement in architecture, the CCA encourages scholars, students, architects and other professionals to pursue projects in the spirit of a broadly connective inquiry that cuts across time, space, and media.

LIVING IN MONTRÉAL
 
Montréal is a truly unique city – safe and clean, vibrant and diverse, with new things to discover around every corner. It is not surprising that The Financial Times put Montréal at the head of its top-ten “City of Dreams” list. With 1.8 million residents (3.6 million in the entire metropolitan region) Montréal is the 16th largest city in North America and the world’s second-largest French-speaking city. While the city’s official language is French, Montréal is easy to navigate for both English and French speakers.
Public education in the province of Quebec is free from kindergarten to Secondary 5 and after that, fees for pre-university college studies are low at the numerous colleges and CEGEPS in the Greater Montréal area.
With 11 institutions of higher learning in English or French, including 4 universities and 2 faculties of medicine, the city offers an unparalleled number of post-secondary education learning opportunities in almost every field of study. To assure accessible and quality health care services for its residents, Montréal counts 33 hospitals and two super-hospitals currently under construction with scheduled opening dates in 2015 and 2016.
Bilingualism is a part of Montréal’s strong cultural tradition added to the inspiring atmosphere of art, music, literature and innovative technology. The city is internationally renowned for its four major festivals: the International Jazz Festival, the Just for Laughs Festival, Les Francofolies and the World Film Festival. All told, there are more than 17 festivals in Montréal each year. In the world of the performing arts, the city is home to many internationally renowned companies like the Montréal Symphony Orchestra, Les Grands Ballets Canadiens, the Opéra de Montréal and the Cirque du Soleil.
Montréal is beautiful throughout all four distinct seasons and the city offers residents an ideal environment with both bustling city life and wide-open natural spaces. Even in the middle of winter, the city is incredibly active with cross-country skiing and tobogganing in Mont-Royal Park, and ice skating in one of the many outdoor rinks. In Montréal’s downtown area, the underground city makes it easy to keep warm while getting around. Montréal also has an extensive and accessible public transportation system with a network of busses and trains as well as Canada’s longest subway system.
Montréal not only boasts superb quality of life – it’s affordable, too. The combination of consumer prices, rents, municipal taxes and personal income tax rates make Montréal one of the least expensive major cities on the continent.
Montréal’s leading economic sectors include finance, business services, telecommunications, aerospace, energy, education, life sciences and information technology. A number of Canada’s corporations are headquartered in Montréal.

LE CENTRE CANADIEN D’ARCHITECTURE
Centre international de recherche et musée, le Centre Canadien d’Architecture (CCA) est fondé sur la conviction que l’architecture est d’intérêt public. Fort de ses vastes collections, ses expositions, ses programmes et ses aides à la recherche, le CCA est un chef de file dans l’avancement du savoir, de la
connaissance et de l’enrichissement des idées et des débats sur l’architecture, son histoire, sa théorie, sa pratique ainsi que son rôle dans la société.
Le CCA possède l’une des collections internationales de recherche parmi les plus importantes au monde.
Celle-ci réunit des publications, études conceptuelles, dessins, plans, maquettes, estampes, photographies et archives ainsi que des documents connexes et éphémères. Phyllis Lambert, architecte et directeur fondateur émérite, a amorcé voilà plus de cinquante ans une collection qui sera à l’origine de la création de l’institution.
La collection du CCA a pour objet la culture architecturale à l’échelle mondiale et compte des oeuvres datant de la Renaissance à nos jours. Pour établir la collection, le CCA s’est donné comme principe directeur de rendre accessible aux spécialistes qui font de la recherche interdisciplinaire un corpus documentaire global et intégré afin de révéler le caractère changeant de la réflexion et de l’observation appliquées au bâti, témoigner de la grandeur des cercles culturels et intellectuels du passé et créer une assise à l’avenir de la théorie et de
la pratique architecturale.
 
Les expositions et les programmes publics et éducatifs du CCA établissent des liens entre la pensée et la pratique architecturale, l’histoire des idées et l’évolution des conditions sociales et culturelles. Les programmes se situent aussi bien à l’échelle locale qu’internationale.
Des conférences, colloques, séminaires, projections de films, causeries dans les salles et événements spéciaux présentent des concepts architecturaux différents au grand public de tout âge ainsi qu’aux architectes et aux chercheurs afin de révéler la richesse de la culture architecturale et urbaine et de favoriser un engagement dynamique à l’égard des questions et des enjeux architecturaux contemporains.
Le Centre de recherche du CCA, un institut international qui se consacre à la recherche interdisciplinaire axée sur les différents aspects de la pensée et de la pratique architecturale, a été inauguré en 1997. Grâce à son Programme d’accueil de chercheurs, à des séminaires et à des colloques, le Centre d’étude soutient les
efforts de recherche individuels et propose de nouvelles pistes de réflexion et de recherche. Liant étroitement la recherche de haut niveau à l’engagement public en architecture, le CCA encourage les chercheurs, étudiants, architectes et autres professionnels à poursuivre leurs travaux dans un contexte de recherche multidisciplinaire qui recouvre les différents espaces temporels et spatiaux.

VIVRE À MONTRÉAL
Montréal est une ville tout à fait unique : sécuritaire, propre, animée et diversifiée, Montréal réserve à chaque tournant de nombreuses et heureuses découvertes. Il n’est donc pas surprenant que le Financial Times classe Montréal en tête de son palmarès de ses 10 « villes de rêve ». Avec ses 1,8 million de résidants (3,6 millions dans l’ensemble de la région métropolitaine), Montréal est la 16e ville en importance en Amérique du Nord et la deuxième ville francophone au monde. Et bien que le français y soit la langue officielle, tant les anglophones que les francophones s’y retrouveront facilement. 
L’instruction publique est gratuite au Québec, de la maternelle au secondaire 5 et, par la suite, les coûts liés à la fréquentation des collèges préuniversitaires sont peu élevés dans la plupart des établissements et CÉGEPS du Grand Montréal. Avec 11 institutions francophones et anglophones d’enseignement supérieur, dont 4 universités et 2 facultés de médecine, Montréal offre un nombre sans pareil de possibilités en matière d’éducation postsecondaire, et ce, dans presque tous les domaines d’études.
Pour assurer à ses résidants des services de santé accessibles et de qualité, Montréal compte aussi 33 hôpitaux. Deux super-hôpitaux y sont aussi présentement en construction et leur ouverture est prévue respectivement en 2015 et 2016.
Le bilinguisme fait partie de la solide tradition culturelle de Montréal qui a su inspirer aussi bien l’art, la musique et la littérature que les technologies de pointe. Les quatre grands festivals qui s’y tiennent chaque année lui ont acquis une réputation internationale : le Festival international de jazz, le Festival Juste pour rire, les Francofolies et le Festival des films du monde. En tout, Montréal accueille chaque année près de 20 festivals. La ville compte en outre certains des plus grands noms des arts de la scène, notamment l’Orchestre symphonique de Montréal, les Grands Ballets Canadiens, l’Opéra de Montréal et le Cirque du Soleil.
Belle en toutes saisons, Montréal offre à ses résidants un environnement idéal alliant une vie urbaine trépidante à de grands espaces naturels. Même au coeur de l’hiver, la ville regorge d’activités et ses résidants peuvent y pratiquer le ski de fond ou la glissade au parc du Mont-Royal ou encore le patin à l’une des nombreuses patinoires extérieures. Au centre-ville, la « ville souterraine » permet de se déplacer bien au chaud en tout confort. Montréal est aussi dotée d’un système de transports publics accessible et bien développé incluant un réseau d’autobus et de trains de banlieue de même que le plus grand métro au Canada.
Non seulement Montréal offre-t-elle une superbe qualité de vie, celle-ci est aussi très abordable. La combinaison des prix à la consommation, des loyers, des taxes municipales et des taux d’imposition personnels fait de Montréal l’une des grandes villes les moins chères du continent.
Au nombre des principaux secteurs économiques de la ville, mentionnons les institutions financières, les entreprises de services, les télécommunications, l’aérospatiale, l’énergie, l’éducation, les sciences de la vie et les technologies de l’information. Plusieurs entreprises canadiennes y ont leur siège social.

Community Relations Manager

Career Opportunity

Community Relations Manager

 

Do you thrive on cultivating relationships by discovering common ground?

Does being part of an active culture scene energize and inspire you?

Would you like to work with a cornerstone arts organization in the heart of Edmonton?

 

The Francis Winspear Centre for Music is recognized as one of North America’s finest acoustic concert facilities. It is home to the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra, an ensemble with adventurous programming that reflects the diversity of the communities it serves. The ESO and the Winspear Centre are two distinct arts organizations with a shared Board of Directors and administration. Their vision is to make music central to tourism, business, and cultural development initiatives in the city by building partnerships with community organizations to maximize the use of the venue as a community resource and minimize barriers for people to access musical arts experiences.

 

The Community Relations Manager cultivates and nurtures relationships with our partners in industry, the arts, and the social sectors. This self-directed position involves stewarding existing partnerships, identifying strategic opportunities, preparing partnership proposals, and supporting the department in meeting budget targets. In this role, you are actively involved in community events and engage in ongoing communication with existing and prospective sponsors and partners. Additionally, you are accountable for coordinating internal and external events for community partners in conjunction with other departments, creating processes to track deliverables for partners, and finding creative ways to inspire and maintain partner engagement.

 

Your qualifications include a post-secondary degree and related experience with community relations, public relations, sponsorships, project management, marketing, and sales. This role is ideal for someone who pursues goals with vigour, works independently but is strongly inclined to be communicative and team-oriented, and interacts respectfully and confidently with others. You are a strong communicator, in person and in writing, who is conscientious, organized, and diligent with details. Understanding of events coordination and social sector not-for-profits is beneficial.

 

You will thrive in this role if you love meeting new people and attending events and you are passionate about the value arts bring to the community as a whole. You are energized by being at events greeting sponsors, community partners, artists and media contacts. Through your professional and personal inclinations, you reveal your connectedness to the community. A love of music and your appreciation of the value arts and culture bring to the community as a whole are essential to success in this role. As an ambassador for the arts in Edmonton, you possess the ability to nurture positive relationships with all organizational stakeholders including guests, patrons, donors, community groups, media, volunteers, and internally with all levels of personnel in the organization.

 

If you enjoy the challenge of surpassing your own targets and building mutually beneficial relationships that contribute to a better community for everyone, submit your application to begin your career with one of Edmonton’s finest arts organizations. What you get is a full-time position with the Francis Winspear Centre for Music & Edmonton Symphony Orchestra with opportunities to flex your creativity and develop professionally.
