This was the most magical experience I could have ever dreamed of. Shannon and Janet made me feel so welcome and are both wonderful human beings. Andrea the head chef is amazing! I throughly enjoyed my work at The Sentinel, which varired between grounds keeping and house keeping, we had a very comfortable room on the beautiful property. Everyone there made our experience so welcoming and special, I would recommend this stay to anyone. Thank you so much for having me!!

My partner and I were welcomed by everyone at The Sentinel who are all wonderful people. The property is in a beautiful part of the world and the work I was doing helped me learn about groundskeeping and I felt proud about the positive impact we made here. I would recommend it to anyone who is looking to immerse themselves in the Canadian lifestyle.

It's amazing here the property is absolutely beautiful and the staff are all super lovely. All the food is organic, and you get your own room (not many people can say they stayed at a the Center for 4+ weeks). There is a sauna/spa are that overlooks the Center surrounded by mountains that tower over you, its out of town and very peaceful. The work is fun and satisfying. It's very easy going here and I recommend everyone give it a shot.
