Recreation, Fish and Wildlife student at Selkirk College seeking a summer position with the Ministry of Forests, Lands, Natural Resource Operations and Rural Development (Kootenay Boundary Region). Eager to apply strong teamwork, outdoor leadership, and environmental stewardship skills to support sustainable land and resource management projects.

Dear Hiring Committee,

I am writing to express my interest in a summer student position with the Ministry of Forests, Lands, Natural Resource Operations and Rural Development in the Kootenay Boundary Region. As a current student in the Recreation, Fish and Wildlife program at Selkirk College, I am eager to contribute to your team’s efforts in sustainable land and resource management while gaining practical field experience. My coursework has introduced me to wildlife identification, habitat assessment, and recreation site management. I am confident in my ability to apply these skills in a field setting. Past roles, such as lifeguarding, assisting with Parks and Recreation youth programs, and working outdoors in yard maintenance, have strengthened my teamwork, leadership, and safety awareness. I enjoy hands-on work, value precision and reliability, and am comfortable working in variable weather conditions. The Ministry’s commitment to environmental stewardship and community well-being aligns closely with my career goals. I would appreciate the opportunity to contribute to ongoing projects that protect British Columbia’s natural resources and recreation areas. Thank you for considering my application. I look forward to the opportunity to contribute to your summer team.

Sincerely,

Owen Mahovlic
