A career with local government isn't just for anyone. It's for everyone.

Over 20,000 people work for local government in the Metro Vancouver region. Local government employers include 21 municipalities, one treaty first nation and one electoral area. These communities are located on islands, in villages, townships, cities and districts and include small communities and big cities, ranging in population from under 1,000 people to over 600,000 and growing.

The employees of these local government employers collectively provide services to 2.7 million people every day. These services include:

  • Drinking water
  • Liquid and solid waste management
  • Parks and recreation
  • Libraries
  • Engineering
  • Environmental regulation
  • Planning, licensing and permits
