The North West Company is looking to hire a new grocery clerk for its store in Island Lake, Manitoba, near Garden Hill, to help maintain steady access to food and household supplies for the region. This position offers a local work opportunity in the remote community and focuses on keeping the store shelves stocked for residents.
According to the federal Job Bank, the position was officially listed on March 19, 2026, and offers a starting wage of $19.55 per hour. The company is also seeking a retail store department head for the same location, which was posted on March 12, 2026, with an annual salary of $48,000.
These roles provide important local employment for residents of Garden Hill and the surrounding Island Lake communities. Because the store is a primary provider of groceries and necessities in the area, having a full team is essential for community food security.
The company says it prioritizes hiring from within northern and Indigenous communities to help develop the local workforce. Since these areas are often fly-in only or rely on winter roads, having local staff helps ensure that the store can continue to serve the community reliably throughout the year.
