1. craigslist.com has a ton of job postings. i would search alberta and a bunch should pop up.
2. There are always jobs available at the Calgary Stampede, but they don't usually provide accommodation.
3. Hotels are a very popular choice for students and young people for summer jobs. If you work there fulltime, you can pay a certain amount a night (around $9) and live there for the duration of your job. Most of the time, you share the room with 1 or 2 other people of the same sex. I was offered a job at a hotel in Banff, and a friend of mine who moved out there worked at a hotel (also in Banff) to save enough money to get his own place. Usually, you can fax/email a resume and cover letter, of course include you're looking for a summer job, any skills you have for positions they have available and that you're looking for accomodation as well. Season starts May/June and ends at the beginning of September. The hotel will then call you to set up an interview, and if you get the job will let you know the date to be there by. Here is job listings for Banff, where accomodation commonly comes hand in hand with employment: http://www.banffjobs.com/ Also, when I was in Banff I picked up an email at the Information Centre (when I was looking for a job of the type you're looking for) which is this: banff@jobresourcecentre.com or canmore@jobresourcecentre.com http://www.jobresourcecentre.com This is their website, where you can search for jobs in the Banff/Canmore area through other websites and their local newspapers. Here are some websites the Job Resource Centre gave me when I was looking for a job with accomodation: http://www.banffcragandcanyon.com http://www.canmoreleader.com http://www.rockymountainoutlook.ca Also, here are some websites/phone numbers of hostels where you can stay for around $30 per night when you first arrive: http://www.samesun.com 1 877 562-2783 http://www.ymountainlodge.com 1 800 813-4138 http://www.hihostels.ca 1 866 762-4122 http://www.alpineclubofcanada.ca (Canmore) 1-403-678-3200 http://www.hostelbear.com (Canmore) Remember that it's easier to find jobs in tourist areas.
