Nirali's Story

As an Architect and Urban Planner from India, I was searching for the right place to build my career in Canada. Four years ago, I found Clarington, which has supported both my personal and professional growth. The equal opportunities, balanced work-life culture, positive team environment, and hybrid work options made the Municipality of Clarington an easy choice. Serving this community has made me more empathetic and humble, and it continues to help me become a better version of myself every day.

Why #TeamClarington? Local work means less commuting, more family time, and a chance to support the community Brandon grew up in.

Brandon's Story

I changed careers in 2023 to work for the Municipality of Clarington, here in my hometown. Working locally means a shorter commute, more time with my family, and the opportunity to support the community I grew up in. Along with the advanced skills training and growth opportunities, the true highlight of my role is being part of #TeamClarington. It’s the incredible people here — my supportive and knowledgeable coworkers, the smiling faces and good mornings, and our shared dedication – that make Clarington a great place to work
