The Vaughan-based amusement park, spanning roughly 300 acres and featuring more than 200 attractions, will host a week-long hiring event to staff nearly every area of its operation. Roles are available across food and beverage, ride operations, lifeguarding, security, merchandise and games sales, and park services, among others.
Wages vary by age and position. Hourly pay starts at $16.60 for students under 18 and $17.60 for those aged 18 and older.
Some roles offer higher rates. Security Associates earn $20.25 per hour, while Admissions Team Leads are paid $18.20 per hour and Guest Services Team Leads receive $18.45 per hour. Aquatics Lifeguards without prior qualifications can start at $18.40 per hour. At the upper end, a full-time Landscape Maintenance Supervisor role is listed at $42.65 per hour.
