    For work during that time of the year I was going to suggest you apply to be a camp counselor or work day camps for the City... as it's a fun job, and it's outdoors, but they might have an issue with your inability to spell "Summer". Just a heads up

    The City of Calgary hands down. You get either a 3 or 4 day work week, wicked pay, benefits, and its a great job in any department.

    START WATCHING IN JANUARY for postings, not the end of april because they will already have hired everyone by then.

    city jobs rule, last 2 summers i have worked for the parks department and made a good wage doing stupidly easy work (weed wacking, watering sod, etc.) and you still get 3-4 days off a week

    I assumed so as well, hence the implied sarcasm. I'll remember to use the brackets next time: [You must be popular with the chess club at your school]

    yea i've heard a lot of great stuff about the city of calgary jobs. i myself work at earls and am lovin it. for a summer job its pretty awsome, hours kinda suck but are fairly negotiable and u can usually find someone to cover a shift. plus requests for days off are taken pretty well and it works out. u learn how to cook and I don't know any other job where you can do the powder slap from the movie how high to your buddy and not get in shit for it but have your night leader actually laugh and join in.

    You have to go to the individual job posting. They ALL have wages.

    I know waterworks starts at over $15/hour now
