The event will feature employers looking to fill upcoming seasonal openings as well as permanent roles. Confirmed exhibitors include Aqua-Tots Swim School, H&R Block and Pegen Industries. Nonprofit organizations will also be looking for potential employees and volunteers, including the Ottawa Safety Council, Nuvista Mental Health and The Career Foundation.
Positions available range from food services to management to skilled trades. Jobseekers are asked to prepare for the event by registering in advance, receiving a QR code for entry and planning their route. Prospective employees often also use resume and business card printing services to prepare for events like these. Advertising for the event states that:
“Whether you are a job seeker or looking to explore different career paths, this event is the perfect place to connect with employers and learn about available positions.”
The Kanata Central BIA hosts the fair every spring and fall, with the goal of addressing staffing shortages in the region as well as driving foot traffic to central Kanata. The organization also releases a detailed program with employer and job information provided.
The fall edition of the 2026 Kanata Central Job Fair will take place at the Holiday Inn & Suites Kanata on the morning of October 5.
