1202 motor-inn / RNR Maintenance (Yokon)
September 2021 -February 2022
maintenance man, cook, baker

I sadly do not leave in the best of terms at this position. I tried my best to, I give a months notice and she didn’t want me to quit so she gave me two days to leave. Being in the most North Western community in Canada. It was a real shock I Loved working there. I just wanted to move on and experience new things within the Yukon.

But I learned so much being so far away from the city. It took 5 1/2 hours one way to get to White Horse.  Following the speed limit. You had to do a lot of planning for the restaurant and cooking for the kids.
