Marketing Coordinator – Events

At Parkinson Canada, we envision in a world where no one is limited by Parkinson’s. More than 110,000 people in Canada are affected by this complex and deeply personal condition. While there is currently no cure, we are inspired every day by the strength, courage, and individuality of our community.

 

We exist to empower and inspire people living with Parkinson’s and their care partners to live fully and courageously. Through support, advocacy, and innovative research, we are transforming what it means to live with Parkinson’s in Canada.

 

We’re not your typical non-profit. We bring swagger to everything we do. That means showing up with courage, creativity, and compassion. It means embracing the wobble, speaking up even when your voice trembles, and seeing possibility where others see limits. Our culture is bold, purpose-driven, and deeply human.

 

At Parkinson Canada, every role is a chance to make meaningful change. If you’re passionate about making a difference, unafraid to challenge the status quo, and ready to move with purpose and conviction, we want to meet you.

This is more than a job. It’s a movement.
