The First Nations in the area that UCN serves entered into treaty relationships with the Crown (within our region these include signatories to treaties 4, 5 -- and the treaty 5 adhesion, and treaty 6 - located within the treaty 5 adhesion). The territory has also become home to other Indigenous peoples. We uphold the treaties and collaborate with all Indigenous peoples to share truth, reconciliation, and learning.  COMPETITION TYPE: Open Competition to Public COMPETITION NUMBER: 26-012CLOSING DATE: January 27, 2026SALARY RANGE: $35.71 to $54.36 per hour plus, remoteness allowance if applicablePOSITION CLASSIFICATION: College InstructorPOSITION LOCATION: The Pas, ManitobaPOSITION TYPE: Full-Time Term, Regular Position ending April 7, 2026
