  Description

  We are a family run business with approximately 20 employees currently (half permanent and half seasonal for summer). We have all different ages of employees and everyone is very friendly and fun! We are currently looking for staff to help us welcome and check in guests and answer questions about our activities (if you speak French and English). We are also looking for other staff for the river front and other activities and our planetarium, in addition to the cabin cleaning, firewood delivery and other tasks. All of these tasks are shared between the team members and we don’t hire staff for one specific role. Since most of our guests are French speaking, being able to speak some French is an asset. Note we have a need for staff from mid-May to mid-October quite urgently. We do not not have shorter stays available.
  
  *️️*️️ This is a PAID position but we require that you have a valid work and travel permit for Canada

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  We are in Sutton, Quebec (the French part of Canada), but our staff and village are fairly bilingual. Our guests are primarily French-speaking so some French would be an asset. While being here you will have a chance to learn and appreciate the French-Canadian love of nature and the outdoors as well as learning some French (and if you are French-speaking some English). This is a culturally rich area of Quebec with one of the highest concentrations of artists, musicians and other artists. We are also about 1h30 from Montreal, and 1h15 from Sherbrooke, with plenty of festivals, museums, and other cultural activities.
