And while CSB would benefit from strong national teams, the national teams can’t benefit enough when they do.

Alberta Mountain Towns Struggle to Staff up for Summer
Wages Go up to Attract WorkersEmployers in Alberta’s mountain towns have been forced to raise wages to attract staff in the hospitality sector. “These are things that have happened in other industries, but it doesn’t happen enough in the hospitality sector,” says Colin Cochrane, general manager of Banff Hospitality Collective. This has left many employers running with only two thirds of their typical staffing complement, causing staff shortages in some key jobs. Hiring Challenges in National ParksThe national inventory system has made applying for entry-level Parks Canada jobs easier, but hiring is still a challenge in some areas because of the staff shortages.
