The Winnipeg Film Group is delighted to announce that Zoë McKay has been hired as the Digitization and Collections Assistant in the Distribution Department.
Congratulations, Zoë! Welcome to the WFG team!
Zoë McKay is an Environmental Science student at the University of Winnipeg with an interest in the natural world and images. Through WFG, she has discovered a love for experimental filmmaking as a tool to explore and document the natural world.
Academically, Zoë is interested in learning about the lake systems of Manitoba and hopes to pursue a career as a limnologist. She believes in conserving our lake systems and watershed for future generations to enjoy, and plans to explore documentary filmmaking with a local and environmental focus to support and enhance this work. Working as a Digitization and Collections Assistant at the Winnipeg Film Group is an exciting opportunity for Zoë, as it combines her love of scientific procedure and applied research with her passion for preserving the cultural and artistic artifacts of the city.
The Digitization and Collections Assistant Term Position is made possible thanks to funding provided by the Manitoba Government via the Heritage Grants Program and the generous support of the Student Work Placement Program funded in part by the Government of Canada and facilitated by the Cultural Human Resources Council (CHRC).
