I don't know about Whindemire but I would still apply at the four seasons. They need chiefs around the clock so they hire a lot of third cooks. You can apprentice through them (though it will take a while) but more importantly you can get experience in pretty much every kind of cooking there is, from pastry to catering and so on. And unlike a lot of the other hotels they're unionized so they do pay a bit better and are marginally less demanding of unpaid over time (though it seems to be the industry standard that you will be doing some).

I know several people who started their careers there and made some great contacts to move into positions else where.

You may also want to check out Deer Lake lodge. I know some chefs there but don't know nearly as much about their programs and offerings but it seems to be a good team they have in the kitchen.
