Farm Boy and TRACKS Employment Services are planning a hiring event at the TRACKS office, 50 Hume Street in Collingwood, to recruit full‑time and part‑time staff for the new Farm Boy at 39 Huron Street (the former Sobeys location). TRACKS regularly hosts employer job fairs at its 50 Hume Street office; interested applicants should confirm the event date and time with TRACKS at (705) 444‑1580 or via the TRACKS events page.
Open positions are expected to include cashiers, stock clerks, produce associates and specialist roles in meat, cheese and bakery. Applicants are encouraged to bring a printed résumé for on‑the‑spot interviews; confirm with the employer or TRACKS what documentation (for example, ID) will be required and whether pay rates or benefits will be discussed at the event.
TRACKS offers free résumé workshops and provides accessibility accommodations upon request to help candidates prepare and participate. Contact TRACKS directly for details on workshop dates and accommodation requests.
The Collingwood Sobeys at 39 Huron Street is being converted to a Farm Boy. Local reporting and a notice posted on the store door confirm the conversion; however, Farm Boy and Empire Company Limited have not released a firm public opening date for the Collingwood store. TRACKS’ involvement and its history of large hiring events suggest a substantial hiring need (previous TRACKS-hosted mass hiring efforts have indicated 100+ positions in similar cases), but the exact number of jobs for this location should be confirmed with Farm Boy or TRACKS.
For more background, see the local report noting the Sobeys closure and conversion and coverage of Farm Boy’s planned expansion to downtown Collingwood.
