Who we are
You may not be very familiar with WCLC, but you’re almost certainly familiar with the products we help bring to players throughout the Prairie Provinces and the North every day; lottery games like LOTTO 6/49, SPORT SELECT, and dozens of instant scratch tickets.
WCLC is the non-profit organization authorized to manage, conduct, and operate lotteries – at retail and online – and other gaming-related activities for the governments of Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba as well as the Yukon, Northwest Territories, and Nunavut. We work closely with our provincial partners to deliver a first-rate lottery experience to players, staying curious about what they need, doing the right thing in a highly regulated environment, and continuing to evolve through new technology and tools.
We know it’s our people who make this possible, which is why we invest in building talented, adaptable, and accountable teams where people work better together, feel valued for what they bring, and are empowered to own their work.
We’d love to talk to you about how you could be part of that.
We offer a challenging, collaborative work environment, competitive benefits, and a good work-life balance.
