The Saskatchewanderer is going full time.
The provincial government announced Monday the position is becoming a full-time, permanent position starting in April after more than a decade as a 12-month term gig.
Felipe Gomez, the current Saskatchewanderer, is to end his term March 31.
“An imaginative, talented and proud ambassador for our province, Felipe Gomez elevated Saskatchewan’s profile as a destination where warm hospitality and inviting communities shape meaningful travel experiences,” Minister Responsible for Tourism Saskatchewan Jeremy Harrison said in a media release.
“The Saskatchewanderer program has evolved over the years and grown its fan base to more than 137,000 followers. The change to this role will allow for continuity of content development and storytelling and create efficiencies in promoting tourism entrepreneurs and small businesses in Saskatchewan.”
“This is one of the best jobs I have ever had and it’s my turn to ‘pass the hat’ to the next Saskatchewanderer,” Gomez added. “If you love adventure, meeting people, trying delicious food and most importantly sharing all your discoveries with thousands of followers, this is the job for you!”
The government said changing the program to a full-time position will allow the new Saskatchewanderer to produce content year-round and allow them to develop as a spokesperson.
Applications for the permanent position will be accepted here until 5 p.m. on March 9.
