Welcome to Cristalina PARC

PARC communities are inspiring spaces, where our residents come, not just to live - but to live comfortably, and engage with a vibrant community of like-minded people.



In the heart of the vibrant Pandosy Village, Cristalina - PARC's newest community - is in full bloom. Just one block from Lake Okanagan, the residence has 133 gorgeously appointed suites. This modern, sustainably designed nine-storey building is purpose-made for independent living, with vitality and social connection built right in. Residents can enjoy fine dining, lounge area, fitness activities, arts, culture, and gardening - or just sit back and take in beautiful views of the lake with a glass of fine wine.



As a PARC Chef de Partie, you're a key member of our Food and Beverage team, responsible for:


Creating an incredible dining experience for our residents and guests. Helping prepare meals according to our established menus - with close attention to artistic plating, proper portions and safe food-handling procedures. Maintaining a clean kitchen and work space. Receiving deliveries and safely storing, labelling, and rotating food to prevent spoilage. Providing creative input on regular and special-event menus. Supporting the Executive Chef by stepping in to lead the culinary team as needed and conducting kitchen audits. Assisting kitchen cleaning, including equipment, countertops, and the beverage centre. Monitoring resident satisfaction by talking with residents in the dining room.
