I'd buy a shirt and drinking cup unless they were too overpriced.

CC is again seeking a "Brand and Marketing Manager" under the new title "Marketing Coordinator".
https://cricketcanada.org/marketing-coordinator/
The job description seems the same. Either the hire was never made in spring 2018 or that position has been vacated. Certainly, the management of the website and social media aspect of the job was not being executed effectively. CC definitely need to find a way to get cricket into the public eye if they want to meet their goals (keeping GT20 running, new sponsorship, professional cricket, national stadium).

This is a position that's gonna be almost IMPOSSIBLE to effectively fill.
The applicant has to answer to half a dozen different people (CC,
sponsors, government, outside event organizers, etc) and is essentially being asked
to sell cricket to mainstream Canucks even though there's no
job requirement that the applicant know how to do this. My prediction:
if the position's actually filled the person who gets it either won't stay long or
won't accomplish anything.

I was just going to post this myself! My favourite qualification is the candidate must be a level 2 cricket coach. However, CC doesn't offer any coaching training!

Meet our newly appointed development officers- Keith Deonaraine and Kulbir Jaswal
https://cricketcanada.org/news-single?nid=141

Just last year CC told me Kulbir, from Vancouver and an Australia trained level 3 coach, would not be able to deliver a coaching accreditation course. Maybe now?

Would like to know how the delivery of school programs is done.
Does the program have a single visit to a school per year or do they return multiple times?
Is it the same for all schools (entry-level introduction to cricket) or do they vary the demonstrations with the level of cricket competency (probably schools serving areas with high immigration)?
Is there any evidence of cricket uptake outside South-Asian/West-Indian communities? If not, should limited resources be focused on schools/regions where cricket is known?
