Hello everyone,

I am pleased to announce the appointment of Genevieve Jones to the position of Director, Cultural Heritage Conservation within the Indigenous Stewardship and Cultural Heritage Directorate, effective September 10, 2026.

Genevieve began her public service career in 2001 as a Foreign Service Officer with the Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade before joining Health Canada. In 2017, she joined Parks Canada as a Senior Advisor for what was then the Prairies and Northwest Territories Region. Over the years, she has held several operational and executive leadership roles, including long term acting assignments as Field Unit Superintendent for the Manitoba, Saskatchewan South, and Riding Mountain field units. Since November 2024, she has served as Acting Director, Cultural Heritage Conservation, where she is leading key initiatives to advance a renewed approach to cultural heritage and cultural resource management.
