Outdoor Jobs Assisting in Canada – Amenities & Preferences
- Preferred stay 4 weeks +. We have had volunteers stay up to 6 months but we always start our workers off with a one-week trial to see if this is good for everyone concerned.
- 1 position is available, one person at a time.
- Internet access available.
- Where we are: We live in a very beautiful area near the ocean (5 minutes) and just above the best hiking trails on the island. There is a lot to do here on this island and Vancouver is very close and easy to get to.
