Location: Inuvik, Northwest Territories
The Arctic Chalet is a beautifully landscaped eco-friendly, non-smoking tourist
establishment located in the Canadian Arctic on the outskirts of Inuvik,
Northwest Territories. We provide beautiful c
abin accommodations and adventure
tours above the Arctic circle.
We have an immediate opening for two healthy, PHYSICALLY FIT volunteers who are
passionate about dogs and would enjoy living and working with us in the north
for a few months.
As we live in a natural environment we would like to find staff who are
interested in spending their free time out in nature, not in town. We require
staff members to be clean, neat and tidy in appearance, non-smoking/drinking
and drug-free with no visible tattoos, body piercings or radical hair stiles.
Our volunteers must be good team players, have a friendly personality and
radiate a positive attitude. They must also be flexible with work and
schedules.
We run a split schedule between yard work and working at the dog kennels with
our beautiful White Huskies. Some experience with tools and machinery would be
an asset. A valid Canadian work permit is required.
Yard duties include washing vehicles, hauling water, helping with renovation
projects, maintaining trails and other misc. jobs. A driver’s licence is
required.
Kennel duties include feeding, watering, cleaning and grooming the dogs. Staff
will also help exercise and train the dogs for our winter dogsledding tours.
The experience to be gained here working with our huskies is amazing!
We will provide free housing and utilities. Staff members cook for themselves
in a shared staff kitchen. A salary of $1000 per month (gross pay) will be given
to cover food and other expenses. Also included is the use of our laundry
facility, access to a limited amount of wireless internet and we will provide
transportation to and from town centre (3 km) for shopping once a week or as we
can coordinate with other trips.
Staff will have the opportunity to participate in some of our adventure tours
and possibly travel to other Arctic communities. We will give you the best
possible northern experience during the brief time that you are here!
If you have a passion for animals and can relate well to them, love nature and
being outside, and are not afraid of hard work this opportunity may be perfect
for you!
