My job at Parks Canada

Transcript

Parks Canada beaver logo

Hi, my name is Mathieu. I've been a guide at Parks Canada for two years and I'm studying in finances.

I love my job at Parks Canada because it allows me to learn new things everyday and expend my knowledge so much.

It also let me shares my interests and passions with new people from around the world every time I come in to work.

Did you know that the Lévis Forts are the last British fortifications in North America?

My favorite memory here at the Lévis Forts was Canada Day, the first of July.

We had four thousand people attending a concert. We had a farm with little animals, we had bouncy castles,

it was amazing, really the best day here at the fort.
