At new min wage of $15 for bc and Ontario working at Timmies gives you 3k a month. A nurse moving up there can make 3k a week plus living expenses. Cause they are needed and won't move unless you pay through the nose.

Can't remember accurately...I'm thinking that I got $2k/mo, housing (if you could call it that!) included.
Say, what's that mountain goat doing up here in the mist?

Pilots getting $2k/month 20 years ago... $2K/month today.
Nurses doing $3K/week!
We gotta get with the times!

A "summer" job in the bush is a 24/7 proposition ( I've been there) and should incur wages appropriate. The wages MUST also pay for the whole year ( did that as an AME ) Therefore, $10,000/Mo. would be appropriate for a j-3 to beaver driver, on a 6 month rotation.
Most of the northern work is in some way subsidized so who cares what the wage is, the operator just charges accordingly. ( Nurses or cops don't go up north for $10.00/Hr.)

I made 4k a month on a reserve ten years ago, even then it was on the low end...
