Temporary Seasonal Jobs in Vancouver, British Columbia
Vancouver, BC, is known for milder Winters, with warmer temperatures and little snow compared to the rest of Canada. Also known as Raincouver or Canada’s wettest city, Vancouver lives up to its nicknames. It never stops raining.
When it finally gets snow, a lot of help is needed on roads, sidewalks, and buildings. Because Vancouver doesn’t get much snow, we’re rarely prepared for it. This year, we’re bracing for a cold winter and heavy snowfalls. This makes snow removal a high-urgency and high-demand job in the upcoming Winter months.
If that’s not your thing, maybe you want to join the booming retail space and lend a hand for the holiday shopping season. You could even get a gig as a cleaner to make extra cash to pay for all those holiday expenses.
AmbiMi is here to help you get Winter jobs. Keep reading to learn about the seasonal jobs we have available.
