Club Intrawest: This company provides a variety of training options to employees, including in-house and online training programs, and career planning assistance. Also, they give employees generous discounts at affiliated resort destinations across North America. I really love travelling so these discounts would definitely come in handy as they have a network of resorts are located in sought-after destinations like Whistler, BC; Las Vegas, NV; Honolulu, HI; Orlando, FL; and Zihuatanejo, Mexico. They offer a flexible health benefits plan, so employees can customize the coverage they receive.

Club Intrawest has been acknowledged for having some of the most progressive and forward-thinking programs available to our team members. On their website it states "

It also provides subsidized staff memberships to a spectacular new onsite fitness facility, that includes a sand volleyball court, personal training services and a basketball court. There isn't much that you can innovate when it comes to packing boxes, other than specific company details.On their website it states: "We are committed to providing our employees with a positive work atmosphere that preserves our family-oriented, employee-focused corporate culture." There main office is located in British Columbia and they have branch offices in Kelowna, Victoria and Everett, WA.
