DISCOVER YOUR NEXT adventure
Spend your days surrounded by the beauty of Lake Simcoe. With opportunities across the Resort in both guest facing and behind the scenes roles, we have something for everyone.
Some of our guest facing opportunities include working on the Food and Beverage or Recreation and Leisure teams. Our Guest Services and Shuttle teams, or the FH Fine Food and Starbucks teams are also great opportunities to be in guest facing roles. During the summer months you could join the Marina or the Nest Golf Club
If you are looking for a job that ensures the fundamental operations of our Resort run smoothly and typically work away from guests, our Culinary, Security, Maintenance, Landscaping, and Housekeeping teams would be a great fit for you.
