Experience the boating life on Toronto Islands

  Description

  Hey guys,
  
  The boating season in Toronto is short, but very exciting. We organize canoeing excursions on the Toronto Islands. We will be interviewing candidates from the end of May and only for in person interview. So, you would need already be in Toronto to meet for the interview. We only hire one person at a time and offer only one week work placement, at a time. So, although one week is very short, it’s still a great opportunity to experience something new.
  The most important skills we are looking for, is a great personality and someone who is not shy around people. Because your main responsibility will be communicating with our guests and making them feel great and welcomed.
  
  We offer accommodation on a boat. It’s a very romantic way to live. You will have an opportunity to experience the off grid life and try a variety water sports. Of course, you will also make many new friends. This is a paid per tour position. Please note, accommodation is provided, but you would be responsible for your own meals. The boat is for no smokers only and no alcohol allowed on board.
  
  To find out more about our programs, please check our profile on Airbnb experiences under Sunset Canoe tour.
  Looking forward to meeting you,
  
  Alex.
