    if you are here next week you Shouldn’t have too much trouble finding a job. The hill is usually looking for people still. Bar work is hard to find b/c everyone wants it but you might be able to find something as a dish washer or similar.

    If you don’t have a place to stay start looking now. Housing is harder to find than work.

    Hey man,

    I work there kinda (through a contractor). Can’t comment on how they treat their employees, but I’ve never heard a complaint so I’m assuming they do alright. Pay is good from what I’ve heard. shifts are 4 on 4 off (2 days 2 nights) which seems pretty sweet.. but I guess that’d prolly depend on where you work too.

    But it is a coal mine.. pretty dirty stuff, depending on where you are working. Lots of people work there so you are sure to have some company one way or the other. Pretty much the whole valley is employed by the mine directly or indirectly so. Not sure if u know what mine ur working at Fording River is quite a drive from Fernie (45 – 1 hr) where are Elk view is only about 20 minutes. the other three are somewhere in b/w. Thats about all the info I’ve got, not a lot but hope it helps
