  Greetings potential team members,
  
  We are currently seeking individuals interested in joining our team at our location in the charming artisan village of Chemainus on Vancouver Island. Our property is conveniently situated within walking distance to the beach and ocean. We are looking for enthusiastic individuals to provide assistance on-site.
  
  The property operates as a bed and breakfast, art studio, and salon. There are four room rentals available - three rooms in the Cottage and a honeymoon suite located in the Castle. Additionally, we are currently in the process of constructing an art studio, particularly focusing on clay and ceramics. We have one full-time employee on the premises, as well as a friendly dog.
  
  All amenities in Chemainus are conveniently situated within walking distance, including shopping, grocery stores, and coffee shops. Additionally, there are numerous opportunities for outdoor activities such as hiking in the forest, as well as enjoying ocean and lake recreational activities.
  
  Workawayers will receive compensation based on the specific tasks and responsibilities they perform within the business. Minimum wage will be provided for standard duties, while a higher wage will be offered for specialized work that contributes to property improvement.
