In social services, the Canadian Women's Foundation, which helps support women grappling with violence and poverty, is looking to fill two positions right now: a social media and public relations coordinator, a new junior position for someone with 1-2 years of experience, and a writer, whose focus will be on writing presentations and impact reports for the foundation's community of donors.

For those with an interest in city-building, the Toronto Coalition for Active Transportation—focused on walking, cycling, and other human-powered ways of getting around—is looking for an active neighbourhoods project manager, who will be charged with developing an engagement process for four Ontario communities. Also, the Canadian Urban Institute, a national think tank for urban policy, is seeking a communications director to manage both internal and external communications.

Two major innovation organizations are looking for new staffers, as well.
