What is a good place to work at 16 near duffren and steeles in Toronto. Thanks.
Answer
Hey Mark D:
It depends what you want to do. If it's a part time job for the summer, you can't be too choosey once June is here. Many employers hire for summer jobs in February.No kidding. If you want one of the whipper snipper-grass cutting jobs with the city for example, check out their website in Jan-Feb 2011.
My suggestion is pick a place you want to work and keep knocking at their door. Let them know you are interested. If there is a decent restaurant nearby, the job of a "busboy" isn't too glamorous, but often the tips are shared between the servers, hostess and bussers. If you want to work in construction, find a job site and talk with somebody. Roofing? Avenue Road Roofing is advertising how busy they are. Call them up. Ask around. Talk with people, your neighbours, parents friends...
A lot of employers open doors to people your age. Pick what you want to do and what will look good on a resume someday or a job that may continue part-time through the school season.
The best part-time job is within walking or biking distance from home.
Good luck.

questions about an ice cream bike?
jboyle1982
I have two questions for everyone.
1-does anyone know where to get a licence for an ice cream bike in toronto, ontario
2-does anyone have any ideas on how to turn it into a year round business?
I know I cannot sell ice cream in the winter but I was thinking of trying coffee or hot chocolate or cookies or something. Please do not mention that people can go to the store for this stuff cheap as I am not like most businesses...I will not be undercut, My prices are lower than most.
Answer
IN order to do that you must have a business license, issued by the Province of Ontario, plus a City of Toronto food vendor license, and your cart has to met the Health Department standards, plus YOU have to have a medical exam, to be a food server.
In addition to do that, you cannot sell in city parks, or on a sidewalk, and you must have a way to wash YOUR hands, with hot water.
Now for the practical side.........who are you going to get your supplies from ? You will need to have an Ontario Sales Tax exemption number, to be able to buy at the wholesalers, at wholesale prices. You will need a HST registration number and collect HST and PST on all your sales. You will need a liability insurance policy of at least one million dollars, to satisfy the city by law regulations for a food vendor permit.
Finally, why would you think that you, as a sole operator can compete with Timmies or Starbucks ?
How are you going to make fresh coffee, on the street?
Those kids that you see peddling ice cream bikes don't own them. They are working for a ice cream compnay, who makes ice cream. The kids get a small commission on each item sold. If they make $10 a day, they are doing good. Its a dead end job. The company has all of ther things that I mentioned above. The kids just do the work, while the company makes the money. Some of those bikes are 20 years old, and they get put out every summer.
You can make more actual money collecting scrap metal, or buying scrap cars and stripping out the copper, aluminium and steel, then selling the left over frame to the junk yard for the weight. One small old car can make you $500, if you get it for 100.
