Original job description
Your Opportunity:
Nestled in the southwest corner of Alberta, right in the majestic Canadian Rockies, Crowsnest Pass is a mountain community like no other. Take the time to explore our extraordinary outdoors through hiking, mountain biking, cross country skiing, snowmobiling, ATV-ing, and so much more.

Join our amazing artists and artisans in sparking your creative side. Numerous events every month will allow you to sample our lifestyle and passions. Our access to the outdoors and multitude of recreational options make this your perfect South Canadian Rockies getaway.
