This job requires you have a drivers licence and a vehicle to transport equipment (most vehicles will fit).
We are currently looking for a reliable and enthusiastic manager to run our booth at weekly farmers markets.
Weekly Shifts:
Saturday - Kelowna Landmark District 6:45am-1:30/2pm (market hours 8-1pm)
Sunday - Peachland Market (Leave Kelowna 7:40am)-3pm (Market hours 8-2)

Pay Structure
- Hourly Rate: $12/hour + 7% commission on personal sales
- Guaranteed Base Pay: $20/hour (averaged per pay period)
Example: If in a 2-week pay period you work 6 shifts (24 hours per week, 48 hours total) and total sales are slower—say $4,000 due to bad weather—you would still earn $960 for that period, based on the $20/hour guaranteed base pay.
- Driving pay (compensation for commute for shifts outside of Kelowna)- $30/driving hour
