Job description

Company Description:

Soul of Canada is an award-winning Alberta-based collective of passionate writers, researchers, historians, and visual artists. Producing historical material in a variety of formats ranging from calendars and framed archival photographs to books, digital media, and even film, our diverse talents and company capabilities create award-winning multimedia products featuring both historical and contemporary themes. Our mission is to bring Canadian history and heritage to life. As accomplished storytellers, we believe history is something to be enjoyed by all. Through our writing and the use of rare archival images, we strive to make history accessible, engaging, and relevant; helping paint a captivating picture of the past for our diverse readership.

Over the last 13 years we have developed and refined our signature “history showcase calendar”, which we are often told is more like a book than a calendar with its many fascinating articles, wealth of engaging archival images, and illustrated timelines. Much of our material covers lesser known yet historically significant topics, and we feature photographs from public archives and private collections that would likely never be seen by the public were it not for our projects. We are a valuable bridge from archive to public eye.

Soul of Canada has an immediate opening for a history content writer.
The ideal candidate is an enterprising self-starter and team player with a sense for stories that resonate both within the local community and across the city and province.
