"The job fair is an opportunity to learn about our seasonal positions, apply, and in some cases, interview and get hired for the 2023 season. Securing a job for the summer now will help seasonal employees plan ahead. We also want to get a good start on filling positions such as lifeguards. Our goal is to open both pools this summer, but that will only be possible if we have enough staff hired and trained by late April."

-Janna Beau, Recreation Supervisor Leisure Services
