Work environment

Millions of Canadians live in coastal areas, and marine and freshwater resources are among the country's greatest natural assets. Fishing and shipping are not only important industries for Canada but are also a part of its heritage. Fisheries and Oceans Canada’s mandate, programs, and services directly affect the livelihoods of thousands of Canadians in ocean and freshwater industries throughout Canada, from fishing and marine transportation to tourism and recreation. More generally, these programs and services affect the economic, social, and cultural fabric of Canada.

The creation of the new Fisheries and Oceans Canada Arctic Region was announced in 2018. This new Region is being built in partnership with Inuit, First Nations, Métis, and Northerners. The major goals of the new Region include a better alignment of Fisheries and Oceans Canada's programs and services with Northern priorities and advancing reconciliation through a collaborative approach.

As an executive in the Arctic Region of Fisheries and Oceans Canada, you will have the exciting opportunity to participate in, and lead, the implementation of this new Region, creating and delivering programs and services that are relevant and critical to northern communities.
