Kitchener & Waterloo, ON, typically have one of the coldest Winters in the Greater Toronto Area. Given that they’re further inland, the temperatures drop, and snow piles up. The upside is that it creates many outdoor snow removal jobs.

If you want to stay out of the cold, however, you could try a manufacturing job to build presents. This rewarding job keeps you in the warm and in Santa’s good books.

Follow along for the seasonal jobs we have available in Kitchener now.
