The Inn at Laurel Point is looking for an exceptional sales professional to join the sales team and work with us to take us to the next level.

 Recognized by Conde Nast as one of the top places to stay in Canada, we have been in transition and are now close to a full realization of our vision as an elegant, Pacific Rim inspired waterfront inn. This is an exciting time to join our team and be part of the experience.
