The Treasurer is the chief person responsible for keeping the organization in good standing with the CRA and meeting financial requirements to continue receiving federal and provincial funds. This role works closely with the Executive Director, office manager, and part-time bookkeeper.

This position requires a willingness to continually learn as financial rules, regulations, and procedures change. If you don't enjoy learning new things, this may not be the job for you.
