regarding your offer, including your role and program season.

1. Position and Duration:

You have been selected for the position of Winter Work & Travel participant. Your start date will be determined

In order to secure your assignment, please make sure that you have $250.00 (USD) cash on hand with you upon your

deposit will be returned to you less $75.00 for cleaning costs and any incidentals resulting in repair or maintenance
