  • Identify and implement best practices, technologies and evidence‑based approaches for public engagement and education delivery.
  • Produce outreach materials, learning tools and social media content in collaboration with the City’s Strategic Communications and Marketing teams that meet corporate branding and accessibility standards.
  • Coordinate and lead public events including adoption drives, education fairs and Animal Services Week.
  • Build and maintain partnerships with schools, community associations, NGOs, sponsors, and sector stakeholders to expand program reach.
  • Serve as a primary spokesperson and media contact for MAS
  • Prepare reports, presentations and briefings for senior management, Council and partner organizations; contribute to crisis communications when required.
  • Manage program budgets, procurement and resource planning related to education and outreach initiatives.
