Creating the future vision for one of Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada’s most prized treasures, Assiniboine Park Conservancy (APC) located at 55 Pavilion Crescent in Winnipeg is the not-for-profit organization that oversees Assiniboine Park’s operations and ensures its ongoing redevelopment and financial viability. Our team is inspired to create and deliver extraordinary experiences for the people who visit and use the Park and Zoo including building friendly, supportive, effective relationships with stakeholders, community and the general public.

The Event Coordinator is part of the Community & Special Events team responsible for the successful planning and delivery of community, private, and corporate events across the Assiniboine Park Conservancy (APC).

The Event Coordinator will collaborate to develop new events and to utilize APC’s event scheduling database (Event Pro) to identify new client event opportunities to past clients. This position will also coordinate event setup and take down, ensure effective execution of plans that meet the needs of the clients and complete a post-event analysis with a client follow-up on customer satisfaction.
