Work environment

It is only a short walk to the parks surrounding the Theatre de l’île with walking trails and bike paths, as well as simpler transit access for those coming from Ottawa. ADDDA is committed to attracting, hiring, and retaining a diverse workforce, and to maintaining a workplace that balances employees with contracted resources and positive employee morale. Depending on the position to be staffed, ADDDA supports alternative work arrangements (e.g., compressed work week, remote work) as well as flexible working hours. As part of the Government of Canada, employees enjoy competitive remuneration and an excellent benefits package that includes medical and dental coverage as well as one of the best pension plans in Canada.
