Census 2016
Make a Difference in Your Community
Hello, my name is Candace Svederus and I am a Field Operations Supervisor for the 2016 Census.
Starting in April 2016, I will be recruiting bilingual Crew Leaders and Enumerators in and around Viking and Sedgewick.
Crew Leaders will train, lead and supervise a team of Enumerators. They may also be involved in the recruitment of staff. The job pays $19.91 per hour plus authorized expenses, and start dates vary between April 2016 and July 2016 (depending on assignment and location). Paid training is provided.
Enumerators conduct interviews with census respondents in person and by phone, and the job pays $16.31 per hour plus authorized expenses. Work starts in April 2016 and continues until July 2016. Paid training is also provided.
Census work is challenging and changes from day to day. It is never boring. You will meet and work with some great people―census enumeration is truly a team effort. If you are a Canadian citizen (or in
possession of a valid work permit or permanent resident status), 18 years or older, computer literate, enjoy working with people and are willing to work flexible hours, I encourage you to join the 2016 Census team.
If you would like more information, go to www.census.gc.ca/jobs. Applications will be accepted online, by mail or by fax

MEMORIAL
Kenneth James Skoberg
August 31, 1945 –
April 25, 2013
It broke our hearts
to lose you,
three short years ago;
for part of us went
with you,
the day God called
you home.
You left us peaceful memories,
you love is still
our guide;
and though we cannot see you,
you are always at
our side.
Our family chain is
broken,
And nothing seems
the same;
But as God calls us
one by one,
The chain will link again.
Missing You Every Day,
Birthe,
Tammy and Calvin,
Erik and Melanie,
Shawn and Anna,
Daniel and Shelly,
and their Families
