TORONTO, August 12, 2024 – It may be the dog days of summer outside, but Mayor Olivia Chow and Councillor Alejandra Bravo (Davenport), Chair, Economic & Community Development Committee both had winter on their minds as they reminded residents that the City of Toronto is actively hiring students and adults for part-time winter recreation positions.
What job positions is the City looking to fill?
The City is looking to fill employment opportunities in ski, skate, snowboard, indoor swim, fitness, sports, arts and after-school programs this winter.
Part-time winter recreation jobs help local students, adults and seniors build leadership skills, gain experience and prepare for future job skills and training.
“We’re excited to bring on board passionate individuals who are ready to embrace the chill and make this winter season truly exceptional. As the largest employer of youth and students, I am proud that the City of Toronto can offer thousands of good jobs at fair wages for anyone seeking part-time employment, said Mayor Olivia Chow. “These important employment opportunities connect people to a pathway to success,” added Chow.
As a pathway to youth employment, the City also offers employment readiness programs for youth through the Building Skills Through Recreation Program.
