We are excited to be recruiting for a Breakfast (Early AM Shift) Line Cook at The Wood Tavern, which is located in our amazing property, the Norwood Hotel.
Shifts for this position will start as early as 6:30am and will include weekends.
The Norwood Hotel has always been an innovative leader in the hotel industry. The Norwood Hotel has an interesting and diverse history dating back to the latter part of the 1800’s. The earliest records available indicate a photograph of the hotel in 1895. In 1937, the Hotel came under the ownership of the late Merle Sparrow and has been operated by the Sparrow family ever since. This longevity in ownership makes the Norwood the oldest operated family hotel in Manitoba and one, if not the oldest in all of Western Canada.
