Parks Canada is currently seeking two young Canadians who are highly motivated and interested in becoming the first Duke and Duchess of Cambridge Parks Canada Youth Ambassadors.
Parks Canada is proud to be collaborating with Global Vision, a non-profit organization with over 20 years of experience in championing the enterprising spirit of young Canadians in the promotion of Canadian industry and culture. Interested applicants must demonstrate leadership, good citizenship, community involvement, and an ability to find creative and innovative ways to engage their peers.
To qualify and apply, potential candidates must participate in one of the five regional Global Vision, Global Leaders Centre sessions to be held in St. John’s, Quebec City, London, Calgary, and Iqaluit. A modest registration fee applies to attend the Global Leaders Centre sessions. The fees cover the cost of meals and/or transportation, accommodation and meals to the session closest to the applicant’s province of residence.

- Applicants will be required to provide a video and a copy of their résumé as part of the application process. Parks Canada will assess all ambassador program applicants and their video submissions.
- The process will also include a written test.
The top 10 candidates will be invited to prepare a compelling approach to connect young Canadians to a specific Parks Canada place with the presentation to be delivered during an interview to a selection board chaired by the CEO of Parks Canada. Two of these individuals will then be chosen as the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge Parks Canada Youth Ambassadors.
