Hey guys, I'm dating a great girl who's visiting Toronto and will be leaving in August :( We've gone to Wonderland and some other great places already but I'm looking for some other fun places that don't kill my wallet each time we go out! haha I was wondering if anyone knew any nice bike trails where you can rent bikes and go for a ride, or even somewhere close for a night of camping?

Best place for 16 year old to work In Toronto Canada?

What is a good place to work at 16 near duffren and steeles in Toronto. Thanks.


Answer
Hey Mark D:

It depends what you want to do. If it's a part time job for the summer, you can't be too choosey once June is here. Many employers hire for summer jobs in February.No kidding. If you want one of the whipper snipper-grass cutting jobs with the city for example, check out their website in Jan-Feb 2011.

My suggestion is pick a place you want to work and keep knocking at their door. Let them know you are interested. If there is a decent restaurant nearby, the job of a "busboy" isn't too glamorous, but often the tips are shared between the servers, hostess and bussers. If you want to work in construction, find a job site and talk with somebody. Roofing? Avenue Road Roofing is advertising how busy they are. Call them up. Ask around. Talk with people, your neighbours, parents friends...

A lot of employers open doors to people your age. Pick what you want to do and what will look good on a resume someday or a job that may continue part-time through the school season.
The best part-time job is within walking or biking distance from home.
Good luck.
