Meet Our People
Many City staff members have enjoyed long and fulfilling careers serving the needs of the citizens of Richmond, while others are excited to be just getting started. Our employees are as diverse and unique as the residents of our great city. Meet some of the wonderful and inspiring members of our team:

“I'm fortunate to have been supported by great people throughout all the departments I've worked in during my time with the City. Even when I have moved on from those divisions to something else within the City, those mentors and coaches have continued to support me.” Reena Corporate Assistant

	“I enjoy working at the City of Richmond because my coworkers are amazing people. They are enthusiastic about their jobs and are passionate about contributing to the workplace. This helps me look forward to coming to work each day." Shaun Permit Processing Clerk

Employees Making A Difference
Volunteering in the community is an essential part of our culture. Many of our employees go above and beyond expectations and give back to the community in extraordinary ways. Meet some of our people who devote their time to the happiness of others:

		“A highlight of my career was when I went to Sri Lanka for Habitat for Humanity. We shovelled every day from 8am to 4pm and between 18 of us we finished three houses. It’s a huge commitment, a month of your life, but very rewarding.” Art Fire Captain

“Two years ago I started an orphanage in Kenya where we have 22 children. Colleagues donated their kids gently worn clothing for me to bring to the kids. Others purchased school uniforms so the kids could go to school and others have become surrogate parents. Together we have made a difference in these kids' lives.” Jennifer Public Works Program Manager

	“My job lets me do good things for the community, like putting a nice pathway through the Richmond Nature Park and working on the community gardens at Garrett Wellness Centre. We have some of the nicest parks in Richmond.” Jodi Labourer

The City of Richmond as an Employer of Choice
Our employees will be the first to tell you why they love their jobs and why the City of Richmond is their employer of choice.

"Within each of the divisions I have been in, there has always been someone that has great knowledge and is happy to share what they know with new people. They were always kind and patient. I would definitely tell others to consider working for the City. There is opportunity to take a lot of training and to work in different divisions to find out where your interests are." Tammy Work Control Technician
	“I look forward to coming to work because every day is different. Kids come in, seniors come in - there are all kinds of activities for everyone. The City is great for being accessible and diverse. Every year we host a ballet recital and over 400 kids come rushing into the Arts Centre in their ballet costumes. It’s really cute to watch.” Judy Departmental Associate
