The Great Lakes Museum endeavors to connect people with the maritime heritage of Kingston and the Great Lakes by collecting, preserving and interpreting material and artifacts related to the maritime history of the region. We are the owners of a national historic site – the Kingston Dry Dock – where we offer public guided tours and public programs.

The museum is a Canadian Heritage designated ‘Category A’ museum with a Canadian Heritage designated ‘Categoy B’ museum ship, the S.S. Keewatin.

Benefits of working with the Great Lakes Museum include:

• Unique historic waterfront location
• Friendly and dynamic work environment

The Great Lakes Museum’s mission is to inspire an enduring connection to the maritime heritage of Kingston and the Great Lakes. We achieve this through our interactive galleries, educational programs, guided tours, and special events.

We are seeking Tour Guides to deliver engaging tours of the S.S. Keewatin and Museum facilities. Guides may also lead Shipwrecks Tours aboard the Island Belle (no diving required). Develop visitor experience, communications, and leadership skills in a fun, collaborative environment. Full/part-time positions available from August 18–November 3, 2025. Additional hours possible for events. The opportunity to pick up extra hours for event support and evening events is also available.
