Grouse hires kids as young as four to work in their sweatshop carving bear statues for their lodge. They don't pay you, but you do get poutine, a free jacket and lodging in the hammock loft under the Theatre In the Sky.

I coach over christmas (between 2 and 6 days) to get my free staff pass, free drinks, cheap food, parking pass etc. I also get paid for the days I work, about $12/hr. Not bad since I use my staff benefits to ski for free all season long at COP in calgary and kicking horse.

oh yeah and in response to the thread I say none. I swear I saw a kid that was like 10 working at grouse the other day. but if you could possibly find a job somewhere else I would suggest that.
