[LeeLau]

I would be happy to recommend Earl, Tyler or Nigel if they're interested - Earl might be too young. Mark - you're known to LSCR so good luck!

[synchro]

I'm gonna put my name in for that.

[Putty]

Remember the good old days, when we used to do trailwork for free? And we liked it.

[Geologyboy]

I can't believe that pays $18 an hour. I also can't believe they need to advertise. Just seems to good to be true.

no doubt

[SkunkworkS]

Age strikes me again.

I'll be at the trail days. :)

[Air Supplier]

I would do it except I'm not 18, I don't have experience with power tools, and I don't want to get up that early.

[derwood]

I don't want to get up that early.
This.......ah.......screw it.........

[the flying moose]

I would do it except I'm not 18, I don't have experience with power tools, and I don't want to get up that early.

so go work at midcks for 8 bucks an hour while someone scores a sweet gig because they were willing to work for it.

He's not 18, so the rest is really not relevant, but ya that attitude won't go far.

[Niggz]

hmmm I would definatley consider dumping the weedwhacking job for this...

[LeeLau]

How ironic is your sig? Don't worry - you wouldn't get hired to take out garbage

[Uncle Duke]

oh man sweet gig.

[Jaysin]

Do It Up Nige!

[kalisto]

Definitaly sweet job, but I just landed one! Goodluck to those who apply!

[wilkez]

i think i might just have to throw an application in.

for the creater of this thread, i applied for a job with the GVRD that was called a "park worker". isnt the LSCR part of the GVRD, so is that really the same thing i already applied for?

well the other job posting didnt end till may 16th, so i was just wondering if it was the same deal or not

[Rat]

so your 15 years old, ride a 5 grand bike that you find to heavy and couldnt be bothered to get up early to make 18 bucks an hour.



Mabey its time to get off mommys tit.

Yes, the LSCR is a division of the GVRD but we are not a park. The job you applied for would have been with GVRD Parks (Pacific Spirit, Lynn Headwaters, Capilano, etc.). The LSCR is operated by the Watershed Management Division of the GVRD.

Thanks,

LSCR staff

[Rat]

One thing Ive noticed from my half assed trail maintence is that guys who have some expericane at it can get about 5 times as much done as a noob.

Hopefully you hire a guy who has some experiance getting dirty.

[funkendrenchman]

I would do it except I'm not 18, I don't have experience with power tools, and I don't want to get up that early.

... and you would have to post stupid questions about the 20 different jobs you were considering before you would even decide on this one.

[Couch_Surfer]

Mabey its time to get off mommys tit.

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

[Knight-Rider]

I wish I could do it, but my boss wouldn't let me take 3 months off.

Sounds like a sweet gig!! Getting paid to go work in the forest. I like it so much, I do it for free. I could get lots done if I could start early in the morning on a daily basis.

[Air Supplier]

so go work at midcks for 8 bucks an hour while someone scores a sweet gig because they were willing to work for it.

Actually, I probably work alot harder than you and make alot more!

[heckler]

Remember the good old days, when we used to do trailwork for free? And we liked it.


We still do.

[kalisto]

Actually, I probably work alot harder than you and make alot more!

[Kye]

Darn, I guess I missed out on that one then :( It was too early in the morning anyway. I prefer to start work at around 11 and work to 7.30

[the flying moose]

since you know so much why dont you tell me how much you make there big shooter.

[HeadOverWheels]

who got the job in the end, and how was it? This would be a sick placement for the summer, and well for the rest of ones life even!

cory

[heckler]

the boys that built crippler ended up getting the job, and I think they had a great time. How could you complain about a summer of paid trail work?

You'll find a great picture of one of them here. Although it looks like he's "hard" at work supervising, that picture was posed for laughs. They did a great job organizing the work on the Neds trailday!

[Uncle Duke]

[Kye]

Yeah, who got it?

[wilkez]

haha kye is just being an idiot, he worked there too. i think he forgot to turn on his sarcasm button

[drummer_dil]

thats stupid, think off all the trail building/work you have done, wouldnt you like to get paid? i mean you like doing it, so you get $$$ on top of he satisfacrtion of building

[.Robinson]

thats not the point of his commnet......its not weather or not he would LIKE to get paid...its now they have to HIRE someone to work on the trails,back in the day everyone enjoyed just goin out and doing it for free .

[Niggz]

Kye you are a goof. You can go nail some dogs on the pathway;) However, this is starting to bring up a bit of interesting conversation. Truthfully, I do prefer volunteer building than paid building. But keep in mind I enjoy paid building over any other possible job. One of the main things is that you don't have the option to just giver and work for 12 hours to get something done. Or say it starts raining 3 hours in and you can decide to go home. Some trails will just never have someone want to volunteer to adopt, for example Ned's. This is the case where paying someone is probably the only choice.

[wilkez]

hey if you wanna volunteer to work on neds, be my guest!

[synchro]

Some trails will just never have someone want to volunteer to adopt, for example Ned's. This is the case where paying someone is probably the only choice.

that's a pretty sad statement considering the number of people that ride ned's

[thebigchin]

Neds is too hard to work on. You have to walk too far. Natural High is where its at!

[Sharon]

that's a pretty sad statement considering the number of people that ride ned's

sad but true...

do you want to adopt it?

I hear its easy work on weekends considering how many people will be happy to interupt their weekend ride to help you get rocks!

[synchro]

i'll pencil it in right after all the other stuff i have to do.
