A very interesting afternoon. $20,000 grant helps employment A two year $100 -million agreement signed recently by the governments of Canada and Ontario will help more than 20,000 social assistance recipients in Ontario prepare for and obtain employment. Under the agreement, which ends March 31, 1989, each level of government will con- tribute $50 million to joint support for employment and training measures for social assistance recipients volunteering to take part. The funding is money which would other- wise have been spent by the province on social assistance payments cost -shared under the Canada assistance Plan. The agreement was signed for Canada by Employment and Immigration Minister Benoit Bouchard and Health and Welfare Minister Jake Epp. Provincial signatories to the agreement are Skills Development Minister Gregory Sorbara and Community and Social Services Minister John Sweeney. Two programs of Employnient and Im- migratioan Canada's Canadian Jobs Strategy - Job Development and Job Entry - are targeted for use by participating social assistance recipients during the first year of the agreement. The federal government estimates that, as a result of this agree- ment, at least 27 per cent of the participants in these two programs in 1987 will be social assistance recipients. Job Development concentrates on improving the employment prospects of the long term unemployed. Job Entry provides work experience for young people seeking a first job and women re- entering the work force. Fifty million will be added to the Canadian Jobs Strategy expen- ditures in Ontario over the two years of the agreement. Calling the agreement a major breakthrough, Employment and Immigra- tion Minister Bouchard noted that "the federal government and Ontario will be able to do much more to help social assistance recipients get jobs and end their dependence on welfare than was possible in the past." Minister Bouchard noted this is the eighth agreement now signed between the federal government and a province and the largest to date. The agreement also provides for pilot and demonstration projects to test innovative methods of helping social assistance reci- pients enter the labor market. As well, the guidelines on earning exemptions of the Canada Assistance Plan have been modified to encourage participation in training and employment programs. Over the term of this agreement, the On- tario Ministry of Skills Development will spend $30 -million under the Futures pro- gram. Futures is aimed at youth aged 16 to 24 who need training and work experience, and offers a pathway to permanent employ- ment through work guarantees in return for individual commitment to upgrading. The Ontario Ministries of Skills Develop- ment and Community and Social Services will work with municipalities to establish consistent and effective processes for refer- ring social assistance recipients to training and employment programs. Ontario Skills Development Minister Gregory Sorbara said he is "encouraged by the federal government's action, which means a real increase in the dollars spent helping young people to become self-reliant, productive members of the community". Over the term of this agreement, the Ministry of Community and Social Services will spend $20 -million on a package of in- itiatives that are complementary to provin- cial and federal programs in order to ex- pand employment preparation oppor- tunities to social assistance recipients. The Minister of Community and Social Sevices, John Sweeney, views this agree- ment "as an example of what can be achiev- ed through collaborative efforts of the federal and provincial governments to deal with the multi -faceted problems facing social assistance recipients who wish to re- enter the labor force". The package of programs includes expan- sion of pre-employment services for older employable recipients and employment ex- perience programs for sole support parents as well as the creation of pilot community economic development projects. Municipal involvement is critical to the successful im- plementation of the programs. e®(M1Zi Nita Market HWY. 4, KIPPEN OPEN DAILY 9 - 5 EXCEPT: CLOSED MONDAYS VENDORS WELCOME FREE ADMISSION For Information Call 482-5759 We sell fresh eggs, syrup, china, antiques, furniture, old tools, etc. WE BUY ABOVE ITEMS OUTRIGHT CLINTON NEWS -RECORD, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 19, 1987—Page 15 Clinton woman takes home jackpot CLINTON - During the August 17 session of Monster Bingo played at the arena here Norah MacDonald of Clinton was the winner of the $1,000 jackpot.
