CBC Toronto job opportunity

Not related specifically to CBC Radio, but a good opportunity nonetheless. This one appeared in my inbox thrice today — once from Marion Coomey (via John McQuaker), and twice again from Liz Gesicki. Spoke earlier in the day to John, and have already sent off a cover letter and resume.
