Organization Summary:
The Manitoba Museum is the provinces largest award-winning heritage and science centre.

The position requires a flexible schedule as the position holder would be expected to be at events on weekdays and weekend evenings, as well as during the day on weekends.

Salary Range:
The salary range for this position is $46,218.29 to $58,480.87 annually depending on experience.
