Want a job with that? McDonald's Canada has 20,000 summer job openings Français
"I'm looking for employees who want to earn extra money and also learn skills they'll have for their entire lives," says Chat Sangha, an independent McDonald's franchisee from Edmonton. "McDonald's experience is a proven resume-builder and really is the best, first job. I love giving job opportunities to hard working students in my community and seeing them thrive."
More than just a paycheque: Crew learn valuable, transferable skills
As an employer of 1 in 10 Canadians *, a job at McDonald's is a launchpad for success in more ways than one. Whether it's a first job or part of a career journey, team members learn valuable professional skills in an inclusive environment that can be carried into future careers - like teamwork, leadership, agility, resiliency and decision-making.
McDonald's restaurants collectively are one of the largest employers of Canadian youth, and offer access to world class training programs and education to their employees, as well as opportunities through many scholarship programs.
Every job matters at McDonald's – it's a team

The restaurants offer flexibility for shifts that fit family schedules and fun summer plans.
"It doesn't matter if you're preparing one of our iconic menu items in the kitchen or asking a guest to "Round-Up for RMHC" at the front counter, every job at a McDonald's restaurant is an important one," says Erin Moore, Chief People Officer, McDonald's Canada.

HLS Therapeutics Announces New Credit Agreement
TORONTO, Aug. 20, 2025 /CNW/ - HLS Therapeutics Inc. ("HLS" or the "Company") (TSX: HLS), a pharmaceutical company focusing on addressing unmet needs in the treatment of psychiatric disorders and cardiovascular disease, announces that the company has entered into a new Credit Agreement (the "Agreement") with National Bank of Canada ("National Bank") as administrative agent which provides for committed credit facilities denominated in Canadian dollars of up to CAD $107 million (USD ~$77.5 million). National Bank serves as administrative agent and lead arranger, with the Toronto-Dominion Bank, Royal Bank of Canada, and Innovation Federal Credit Union as syndicate members. The Agreement replaced HLS's credit facility with JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. which had a maturity date of August 11, 2026. On closing, the proceeds from the new term facility were used to repay the Company's existing credit agreement in full. The new Agreement has a maturity date of August 19, 2029. The Agreement consists of a CAD $79 million term credit facility, a CAD $14 million delayed draw facility and a CAD $14 million revolving credit facility. In addition, HLS can increase facilities further through an uncommitted CAD $40 million accordion facility (subject to Lender agreement). Interest on the Agreement accrues at a rate per month equal to the sum of the Canadian Overnight Repo Rate Average ("CORRA") plus a range of 2.25% to 3.50% depending on the leverage ratio of the Company at the time. Interest rate spreads are 25-50 basis points below the rate in the Company's prior credit agreement, providing improved cash flow through reduced interest expense. The debt is denominated in Canadian dollars, creating a natural currency hedge against the Company's predominantly Canadian operations. In addition to the interest rate spread savings detailed above, HLS will achieve further interest rate savings in excess of 100 basis points based on current market interest rates, as a result of the differential between US dollar and Canadian dollar base rates. "We are pleased to finalize this new credit agreement with National Bank and our syndicate partners, which reflects their confidence in our outlook," said John Hanna, CFO of HLS Therapeutics. "The Agreement delivers improved terms that reflect our strengthened financial position and provides enhanced financial flexibility and cash flow to pursue our capital allocation priorities such as share buybacks and portfolio expansion." ABOUT HLS THERAPEUTICS INC. Formed in 2015, HLS is a pharmaceutical company focused on the acquisition and commercialization of late-stage development, commercial stage promoted and established branded pharmaceutical products in the North American markets. HLS's focus is on products targeting the central nervous system and cardiovascular therapeutic areas. HLS's management team is composed of seasoned pharmaceutical executives with a strong track record of success in these therapeutic areas and at managing products in each of these lifecycle stages.

Posthase: Renters are spending a scary amount on housing
Article content Canadian renters are spending an ever-growing amount of their paycheques on rent, even though they may qualify for a mortgage. Article content Article content Nationally, they are spending 37.6 per cent of their income on rent, according to analysis from SingleKey Inc., falling just below the 40 per cent 'crisis' level. Article content But Toronto renters have already reached the crisis level by spending 41.1 per cent of their salaries on housing, or an average of $2,899 per month. Article content Article content The average rent in Canada is $2,200 per month, with Vancouver's $3,095 per month rate being the most expensive city for renters. Article content Article content It's no wonder renters have a hard time paying the bills. A recent Equifax Canada report said non-mortgage holders were twice as likely to miss a credit payment compared to those with a mortgage. Article content 'While the overall delinquency rate appears to be levelling off, the underlying story is far more complex,' Rebecca Oakes, vice-president of advanced analytics at Equifax Canada, said in a release. 'We continue to see a growing divide between mortgage and non-mortgage consumers, and continued financial strain among younger Canadians, who are facing a slower job market and rising costs.' Article content Overall, 1.4 million Canadians missed a credit payment in the second quarter of 2025, while consumer debt climbed to $2.58 trillion, Equifax said. Article content Article content This comes despite rents for condos and apartments falling 3.6 per cent year over year in July, marking the 10th consecutive month where Canada's rents have fallen year over year, according to data. Article content Article content The good news for renters is that it doesn't look like rent will be going up anytime soon. Article content 'The 3.6 per cent year-over-year rent decline in July is greater than the 2.7 per cent decline recorded in June and suggests that rent declines are likely to continue compounding,' said in its report. Article content Despite the challenges of paying their bills, many renters might still qualify for a mortgage. The average credit score among renters is 694, SingleKey said, which is above the 680 threshold needed for approval at many major banks.
