Deputy Treasurer

The City of Dryden, located on Wabigoon Lake, in the heart of Northwestern Ontario, is enveloped by the beauty of tranquil lakes, stunning views, and the boreal forest. Dryden offers the perfect blend of opportunities to raise a family, launch a business or enjoy retirement. The city has grown the conveniences of an urban centre without losing its rural, neighbourly charm.

Dryden is a community in motion, known for its abundant outdoor activities such as fishing, hunting, and hiking but also for its first-class fully equipped recreation complex. There is something for every sport and outdoor enthusiast in Dryden, including a waterfront golf course, beaches, canoeing, cross-country skiing, easily accessible hunting in the Boreal Forest, and fishing in local pristine lakes.

The City is now seeking a public sector financial manager to serve as:
