Verdict
This is a legitimate job posting from Fairway Markets, an established regional grocery chain on Vancouver Island. The employer verification confirms the business is real, the address is a genuine commercial location, and the company maintains an active careers page. The posting contains detailed, realistic job responsibilities and requirements typical of a cook position. The only minor concern is the mail-physical-resume requirement, which is somewhat outdated but not uncommon for grocery retailers and does not override the strong legitimacy signals.
