The Royal Canadian Legion Branch 32 in Bay Roberts, Newfoundland and Labrador, is looking for one young person to fill a full-time summer grounds maintenance job starting around June 22, 2026. The eight-week position is funded through the Canada Summer Jobs program and pays for 35 hours of work per week. Anyone aged 15 to 30 can apply, and the Legion is accepting applications until June 6, 2026.
This is a rare shot at summer employment for younger residents in a town of roughly 11,000 people. Jobs that open up later in the season, like this one, can be a good fit for students who may have missed earlier application windows with other local employers.
Applications can be dropped off in person at the Legion hall at 108 Water Street from Tuesday through Saturday, noon to midnight, or sent by email to [email protected]. The branch secretary, Comrade Gladys Perry, is the contact for anyone with questions. The phone number for the hall is (709) 786-2075.
The Royal Canadian Legion Branch 32 has been part of Bay Roberts since receiving its charter in March 1954 and opening its doors as a club in May 1955. For more than 70 years, the branch has run programs for veterans, sponsored local cadets, handed out scholarships, and operated the Veterans Quay Marina on the waterfront. This summer job continues that tradition by giving a local youth a paid chance to help look after the grounds while gaining work experience.
The Canada Summer Jobs program is delivered by Employment and Social Development Canada and gives wage subsidies to employers like Legion branches so they can create summer work for young people. Across the country, the program aims to support up to 100,000 positions in 2026, with the hiring period open from April 20 to July 20 and jobs able to run until August 29.
