Anyone wishing to apply to serve on a provincial agency, board or commission should proceed as follows:

1. You can apply online, or
2. You can download an application form and mail or fax a hardcopy of your application to the Public Appointments Secretariat.

The Public Appointments Secretariat will ONLY consider information included on the application form. Please do not attach a separate resume to form part of the application form and do not submit any other supporting material, including reference letters.

After submitting your application, you will be sent an e-mail or letter indicating that your application has been received. Your information will be kept on file for a period of three years. During this time, you will be considered for the position(s) or subject area(s) in which you have expressed an interest whenever openings occur. If, after three years, you are still interested in being considered for a public appointment, we will be pleased to receive a new application from you at that time.

A short list of candidates will be compiled based on the skill requirements for the position, the information provided by applicants and their references, and through consultation with the Chair of the Agency, Ministry Officials and/or sectoral stakeholders.

If your name is short-listed for a specific position, you will be contacted to confirm your interest. At that time, you will be asked to submit a Personal and Conflict of Interest Disclosure Statement.

Qualified candidates will be recommended for appointment following a selection process that could include personal or telephone interviews, enhanced reference checks or stakeholder consultations.

If you are recommended for appointment, you may be selected to appear before the Standing Committee on Government Agencies.

Hard copies of applications can be sent to us at the following address:
