Please see the information about a Tax Webinar below!

Hi,
When working holidaymakers travel to Canada, the local tax system is usually the last thing on their mind!
However, when living in a new country, it’s important to understand your tax obligations so that you can ensure you are fully compliant and paying the right amount of tax.
After all, the last thing you want is to be paying more tax than you need to!
With that in mind, Taxback.com are hosting a webinar on Tuesday, 22 February at 8pm (PST) to take you through everything you need to know about filing a Canadian tax return.

The webinar will focus on:
Who needs to file a Canadian tax return
Key dates and tax info.
How to determine your residency status (non-resident vs. resident)
Filing a tax return
And much more!
How to attend the webinar
When: Tuesday, 22 February @ 8pm (PST)
Where: Join in from your laptop or desktop!

Hello! We know many of you are anxiously awaiting news of housing opportunities here on the mountain and in the lovely local town of Invermere.

We are fortunate to have great relationships with a number of private owners here in the valley, many of whom have been renting to our staff for several years.

We've set up a separate group to keep all of the private housing info together and you can see up to date postings by searching for Panorama Staff - Private Accommodation Group or clicking to following link ... https://www.facebook.com/Panorama-Staff-Private-Accommodation-Group-1658053797775028

(Our Employee Experience team are working through all of your Employee Housing forms as we speak. Sadly we're not able to house everyone who applies for Employee Housing, so do keep an eye on the Private Accommodation Group and if you see something you like email the owners right away! Sometimes they'll be able to help you find roommates, and sometimes you'll need to look for your own ... you won't struggle to find others who are looking for a place to stay and who are working at Panorama for the winter who'll want to join you as a roommate!)

Looking forward to seeing you all here very soon!

This group is to help our staff find housing in the valley and coordinate roommates!

Hi Everyone,

Just an update on the Mountain Shuttle ... due to low ridership, the last day of the Shuttle will be Friday, April 9th. Also, the Adventure Centre stop will no longer in use ... the shuttle will continue to stop at Ski Tip Lodge at the same times posted for the Adventure Centre.

Huge thanks to Riki and Fumio and all of the shuttle drivers for another great season of shuttle runs! That's a lot of Mountain Mileage!!!

05/04/2021

Hi Everyone!

I hope you're having a lovely day out in the sunshine and maybe doing one or two last turns of the season out on the slopes!

A couple of you have asked about the Mountain Shuttle - this will keep running on its regular schedule up to and including April 11th.

The only change will be to the 5:10pm pick-up from No Frills. Due to the bridge construction/road works, this pick-up/drop-off time will be eliminated. All other times will remain the same.

Thank you!

22/03/2021

Hi Everyone!

Adam and Julie are currently sending out Spring and Summer offer letters! If you have applied, please keep and eye on your email. All offers will be sent to your email address.

If you're tech savvy and can return your signed offer digitally please go ahead and do that, or come and see us in the EE Office and we can print a copy out for you to sign.

Thank you!
