Positions available
Lottery positions |
The Corporation of the City of Thunder Bay annually hires students during the summer months through a job lottery. Students hired under this program will primarily work in general labour, clerical/office - general, golf services, tourism, and amusement ride/tour/camping. The selection of students for these positions is based on a lottery system. Applications received for these positions will be entered into a database (pool of applicants) based on areas of interest specified by the applicant. When positions arise, applicants will be drawn by lottery from the database. Only those selected for an interview will be contacted.
Summer Student Lottery Positions Available:
*Suitable for High School students

Specialized positions |
The Corporation has some summer positions that are specialized in nature, and require enrolment in a particular field of study. These vacancies will be posted and will not be part of our lottery process. To be considered for one of these positions, students must apply directly to a posted summer vacancy.

Returning students (Rehires) |
Returning summer students who are eligible for rehire (who worked for the City of Thunder Bay the previous summer), will be sent a letter by mail. Eligible rehire students must complete their application online on the Thunder Bay job site by February 13, 2023. Paper application forms are not available this year. The letter you receive will provide you the job title of the student position you held previously to assist in identifying the job posting you will need to apply to online. Rehire students will be contacted by Human Resources when departments identify their staffing needs. Please note: A rehire letter nor your application guarantee you a 2023 Summer Student position. Some summer student positions that were previously available may not be available in the summer of 2023.
