You will come for the Winter but stay for the summer! Contrary to popular belief, Canada as a tourist destination is far more popularin the summer when the place heats up, and everything and everyone comes out to enjoy the beautiful wilderness! The snow starts to melt, the animals come out of hibernation, and the adrenaline lovers experience those exciting pursuits other than skiing or snowboarding as temperatures soar into the high 20s & 30s.
Music Festivals, Hiking, Camping, White Water Rafting, Downhill Biking, Rock Climbing & Floaty days on the lake are just a few of the fantastic activities you can experience while working a summer season in Canada. With Pre-Arranged jobs everywhere from Whistler to Banff,, we have covered you with all positions with full-time hours, staff housing, a free season pass or wellness package, and full training on arrival.

Secure Your Summer Employment Guaranteed Job Contract Pre-Departure

Silver Star have been working with The Working Holiday Club for many years now to assist us with our hiring. It is a challenge for any company to recruit large numbers of employees season after season, however, with the assistance of the working holiday club we are able to fill these positions with a professional, reliable, engaged employee team. We feel that the working holiday club are industry leaders in recruiting employees within the ski industry. The team at The Working Holiday Club understand the needs of each resort that they partner with, offering an honest service to both employer and employee. I would have no hesitation in recommending the working holiday club as a friendly, welcoming and trustworthy company to work with.
