 Being a traffic authority member might be the job for you. I've been with the unit three years now. I work part-time in the spring on a contract basis and I'm also a grandpa so I have my grandchildren on call. The interaction with the public at various events in various locations throughout the city as well as being able to step into a busy traffic intersection and putting into a calm environment and getting the traffic moving quickly and safely. I work concerts, white-capped game, lions, marathons, any type of construction event, cruise ships and a number of other city Vancouver projects. I work approximately 50 to 60 hours a month. The flexibility of the schedule works excellent with my situation. For more information on how you can apply to become a VPD traffic authority member, go to vpd.ca
