Saskatchewan’s Best Job Ever Offered Again in 2015

Released on October 27, 2014

Government of Saskatchewan Continues with Successful, Expanded Saskatchewanderer Program

Over the past year, Saskatchewanderer Caitlin Taylor has wandered where no Wanderer has gone before.  She snowboarded at Mission Ridge, Mark McMorris’s hometown hill; camped on the world’s most northerly sand dunes in Athabasca Sand Dunes Provincial Park; and interviewed dozens of people including Life of Pi author (and Saskatoon resident) Yann Martel and NHL player (and farmer) Keith Aulie.

With the successful year quickly coming to a close, the Ministries of Parks, Culture and Sport, Agriculture, Economy and Tourism Saskatchewan are partnering once again to offer the program in 2015. 

“This has been one of the best years of my life,” Taylor said.  “It’s such an innovative, worthy program, and I can’t wait to watch the 2015 Saskatchewanderer get in there and showcase the best that Saskatchewan has to offer.”

“The success of the 2014 Saskatchewanderer project speaks for itself,” Parks, Culture and Sport Minister Mark Docherty said.  “We’ve watched the Saskatchewanderer’s following continue to grow through Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.  Plus, Caitlin has delivered presentations on her 'best job ever' for organizations all across our growing province.  She showcased Saskatchewan as a dynamic place with a vibrant quality of life.”

“Caitlin Taylor reminded people that Saskatchewan is a four-season destination with a vast array of tourism experiences,” Minister responsible for Tourism Saskatchewan Jeremy Harrison said.  “Tourism contributes significantly to the province’s strong economy and quality of life.  The 2015 Saskatchewanderer will serve as an influential ambassador for the industry and for destinations, attractions and events.”

Taylor, the project’s first full-time, year-long Wanderer will hand over the job to the next successful candidate at the end of the year.  Her last day on the job is December 31.  The new Saskatchewanderer will start exploring Saskatchewan in January.

Interested candidates can apply at www.saskatchewanderer.ca.  Applications open Friday, October 31 at noon and close Monday, December 1 at noon. 

CAA Saskatchewan has committed to sponsoring the Saskatchewanderer project in 2015.
