At Sparrow Hotels, our core purpose is to create an environment for people and communities to flourish. We strive to be responsible to our guests, clients and staff through social responsibility, community investment, sustainability, design and innovation.

We are excited to be recruiting for a Part Time Baker for Pauline Bistro, which is located in our amazing property, the Norwood Hotel.

The Norwood Hotel has always been an innovative leader in the hotel industry. The Norwood Hotel has an interesting and diverse history dating back to the latter part of the 1800’s. The earliest records available indicate a photograph of the hotel in 1895. In 1937, the Hotel came under the ownership of the late Merle Sparrow and has been operated by the Sparrow family ever since. This longevity in ownership makes the Norwood the oldest operated family hotel in Manitoba and one, if not the oldest in all of Western Canada.
