Who We Are

We, the We Wai Kai, embrace our language and culture to build a proud, healthy, safe, and self-sufficient community. We support and encourage each other to thrive through following the footsteps of our ancestral history, as stewards of our lands and waters, while balancing our role in modern day society.

Today, we are proud of our efficient government operations, ensuring a high quality of life for our members. To enhance this, we are also focused on existing and emerging economic development opportunities that will position us for continued growth and re-investment in our community. We pride ourselves on being a strong, self-sufficient Nation and look forward to what the future holds.

Position Overview

The Emergency Program Coordinator supports and strengthens the Nation’s emergency management program through planning, coordination, preparedness, community engagement, and capacity-building. This position works closely with leadership, staff, and external partners to help build community resilience and improve emergency response capacity.

The role also supports funding applications, grant writing, and partnership development to expand emergency management services and related programming.

Support the development, review, and maintenance of emergency preparedness, response, and recovery plans.
Assist with Emergency Operations Centre readiness, coordination, and activation as needed.

Support community preparedness initiatives, public education, and outreach activities.
Help organize and participate in emergency training, exercises, and preparedness meetings.
Identify and pursue funding opportunities to support and expand emergency management programs.

Build and maintain partnerships that strengthen community emergency capacity.
Maintain emergency supplies, equipment lists, contact lists, and other program records.

The incumbent must be able to take initiative, coordinate multiple priorities, and work effectively with leadership, staff, community members, and external partners.

This position is nominally scheduled to work Monday to Friday 8:30am – 4:30pm with a 1-hr unpaid lunch break, but will often require flexibility and additional time to deliver its supportive mandate. Works independently and collaboratively inclusive of regular supervision.
