The Spotlight program, where employees who go above and beyond in their jobs are recognized with different prizes throughout the Fair season.

“The PNE has provided valuable first job experience for hundreds of thousands of British Columbians, and many of our current full-time staff began as Fair time and seasonal employees,” says PNE spokesperson Laura Ballance.” This is a great opportunity for people to participate in Vancouver’s most iconic event, and to be a part of the fun at the Fair, the best part of summer.”

The PNE is the largest employer of youth in the province, and encourages young people, with or without previous job experience, to apply to work at the PNE.

“The PNE believes in being a first-opportunity employer, so if you have a good attitude and a willingness to work, you don’t need previous experience to earn a job at the Fair.”
