Do you need a physical break from schoolwork? Would you like to work outdoors for the summer months?
Would you like to contribute to the well-being of your community? Do your academic interests include
environmental health, public health or IT/GPS? Have you realized that an education is seldom enough to be
successful in the working world; demonstrating that you can work hard, be self-motivated, committed and
contribute to community are also necessary?

motivated, energetic, committed, and in good physical shape. Outdoor work is a very considerable component
of these positions, and sometimes the weather can be inclement during summer months. Candidates must
have a valid driver's licence and a good driving record. Operation of company vehicles is expected. Summer
employees will also need to be in possession of a valid pesticide technician's certificate and provide
documentation that they have completed the on-line course for scooter operation. Candidates must agree to a
1 to 2 day orientation session including safe scooter operation. Training for safe scooter operation and
applicator certification will be provided during the orientation session and at no cost to the individual. It is
considered an asset to be familiar with GPS technology and familiar with working from maps, or have
employment experience driving. Experience with safe scooter (or motorcycle) operation will also be considered
an asset.
