I assume you're looking for an art-related job. If you are, that's very, very tough to find in the Toronto area. Most summer art jobs are taken by co-op students in the graphic design, animation or architectural programs.

If you can get in to a co-op with your school, then chances are they will keep you on for the summer (as they won't have to retrain someone).

Good luck!

Circus Design Group - no, I'm afraid I haven't heard of it. I'm not in the graphic design industry though.

Job Shadowing is a great idea - tons of great experience...

Honestly though, getting a summer-job in the art/design industry is a very rare thing - simply because it usually takes 3 months at least in a position to get you trained at doing things the way a studios needs you to do them - regardless of whether you've gone to art school or not.

I always ended up working during the summer at something totally different anyway - landscaping, as a computer technician, retail sales...etc...
