6 month Intern Opportunity and Summer Student Placements
Interns will be given tasks in multiple areas of heritage conservation as they participate in the processes of planning and project implementation of exhibits and the conservation/refurbishment of a designated heritage Modern residential project. This will give them the opportunity to see Heritage conservation as a ‘big picture’ effort. Interns will also be planning hands-on training opportunities in specific conservation practices: material analysis, treatments and preservatives applications, surveying, specialized wood joinery refurbishment skills development, and the documenting and cataloguing of associated work.
The position also involves heritage site interpretation and production of exhibit materials for public outreach, reflecting the project site’s selection as one of the National Capital Commissions Canada 150th Pavilions. The planned exhibits will cover work being done on site, the Foundations archival projects and Canadian Modernist Heritage from a national perspective.
