Employment

A message to our past employees

Minnewanka Lake Cruise was purchased in April of 2007 by Brewster Inc, of Banff, Alberta. Minnewanka operations were seen as a natural addition to the Brewster Attractions portfolio, which also includes the Banff Gondola and the Columbia Icefield Glacier Experience.  Strengthening the commitment to the upgrade of Minnewanka Lake Cruises was the recent purchase of a brand new 63 passenger cruise boat – Alberta Explorer in 2008, plus the decision to re-power and totally refurbish both the Minnewanka II and the Sandra Lynne.

Over the years, many Banff and Canmore area residents have worked at Lake Minnewanka in a variety of capacities; including tour boat operators. It is a wonderful place to spend the summer months and a good life training experience. To receive the Transport Canada certification to operate a commercial vessel was a valuable reward for most and the interaction with people from all over the world was an excellent experience, helping to broaden horizons and open new avenues of opportunity.

That led us into a further discussion of other tour boat operators still residing in the Bow Valley who may have a similar interest in spending a few days a season piloting the tour boats and renewing their Limited Masters certification. We are now going to pursue this avenue as part of our employment policy and invite any interested past employees to contact us. Upgrades and re-certification training if required would be provided for interested parties.

Send us an email to boats@brewster.ca or give us a call at 762-7491 should you be interested in our part time program. We’d love to visit with you and see you at Lake Minnewanka during the 2010 season.
