Hope you are having a great day and thanks for making the time to see what Kananaskis is all about. We understand that there is nothing more precious than a person’s time so let’s cut to the chase, shall we?

1)WHY KANANASKIS?

· If you are looking to join a team that are made up of like-minded people who are looking to create amazing experiences for our team and our guests and become lifelong friends, then we suggest you continue to read on…

· If you are looking for an environment that will provide you with an incredible array of tools to put in your tool belt like:

o Empowering yourself and others to become a better version of yourself,

o The ability to communicate and think fast on your feet in a busy environment,

o How to have fun and be creative in a fast-paced setting,

o How to work together with like-minded individuals to work towards a common goal

o Understanding how to prioritize tasks so that we assure that we put “People before Stuff” in all situations and take care of each other and our guests directly or indirectly

o Learning how to survive on Ichiban, peanut butter, and Ritz crackers for two days until you have to go to the grocery store (we’ve all been there…)

How are we doing so far? We believe in being a bit different and thinking outside the box so if you continue to be intrigued and your gut is telling you this place sounds cool then keep reading my friend!!!

2)WHAT IS OUR CULTURE?

Wow…you are on a bit of a roll – great question! Our culture rests in the hands of three little words. MAKE. THE. TIME. What does that mean? Thanks for asking! It primarily means two things.
