Guide training in Shunda Meadows
Working in the outdoor and tourism industry has its perks.
Our staff are eligible for a number of discounts and perks throughout the year. Most of the deals available are designed to help you obtain the gear you need for your outdoor adventures, to help you learn about the region and to make the most of your time in the Nordegg region.
Food & Beverage at the Nordegg Canteen
Our staff are eligible for:
- 40% off food from the Nordegg Canteen menu.
- 20% off craft beers, sodas and cocktails.

Explore Nordegg & Abraham Lake
Our staff are eligible for a 15% discount on most activities offered by partners listed on explorenordegg.ca. Talk to Danielle to book your adventure.
Pro Deals
Most of our staff are eligible for pro deals from various outdoor industry brands. Eligibility is set by each brand, depending on your position and certifications. The brands listed below have usually approved our staff who have applied to their pro programs. They are also brands that we use in our operations and have had a positive experience working with them, making it easy for us to recommend them to our guests and staff.
In general, companies will require a copy of a recent pay stub with the sensitive information blacked out. Talk to Danielle if you require an introduction letter or additional information.
Keep in mind that pro deals are a privilege and that there are conditions and expectations associated with them. Failure to comply with those terms may result in termination of your employment with us.
The Adventure Room @ the Nordegg Canteen
We love seeing our staff using the same brands we use and sell. Our staff get 35% off most retail items in stock in the Adventure Room.
Talk to Danielle about placing a special order for items we do not have in stock, keeping in mind that each brand we carry has different requirements in terms of minimum orders, timelines, etc.
