resources and support systems, supporting local programs through PSA’s and Promo’s
publicizing classes, workshops, and creating opportunities for Aboriginal community members as well as other residents of the region to integrate with and understand more about the Aboriginal community in the Fraser Valley.

- Interviewing and coordinating with varied interview subjects (Representatives and elders of tribal councils and educational systems, Intergenerational residential school survivors, etc).
- Writing, recording, editing, and producing a feature length documentary based on research and relevant topic sources.

The successful applicant will work in conjunction with CIVL staff to train in technical recording, research and interview procedures, and spoken script drafting.
