Student Employment Centre in
o' rich is open forbusineSS
It may be hard for many people to think
about summer in the middle of March, but it
will be here before you know it. The Canada
Employment Centres for Students in
Goderich and Exeter certainly know sum-
mer is coming and they are very busy plann-
ing for it. Once again the offices are open
and ready to serve area students and
employers.
This year the new supervisor is -Jeff Sur-
ridge, a graduate of Brock" University in St.
Catharines. He is expecting a good summer
in terms of student employment as the
economy remains bouyant and strong
growth continues.
Surridgeis currently .involved in
distributing information on various govern-
ment programs to potential employers
within the community. A number of these
programs may be of interest to employers
and job seeking students alike.
The federal government's Challenge '86
program is geared towards creating career -
related summer employment for students
and providing them with practical' work ex-
perience. The program aims at "providing
real jobs in the real world".
Some other programs of interest include:
Experience '86, which places students in
positions within Ontario .government
ministries, Student Venture Capital, which
' provides loans to students to- create their
own summer employment, and the Ontario
. Youth Employment Program that offers
employers a wage subsidy to hire students.

tion make it very important that students in-

responds
to workplace
smoking issue
A recent Gallup poll confirms that the ma-
jority of Canadians, smokers and non-
smokers, believe that " smokers should
refrain from smoking in the presence of non-.
smokers.
According to the survey an overwhelming
85 percent of non-smokers and a surprising •
62 percent of smokers agreed that smokers
should not light up around non-smokers. The
'survey also revealed that 87 percent of the
people surveyed, smokers and non-smokers,
believed companies should either ban smok-
ing totally at work or restrict it to
designated areas.
With this clear message The Lung
Association is introducing across Canada a
new program called Freedom from Smok-
• ing: At Work. The program is designed to
deal with the issue of smoking in the
workplace. + '
The program 'co ' is ,of two manuals --
Taking Executive Action and Smoking: A
Workplace Issue. Guidelines -are -offered to
help management 'and employees with the
issue of smoking in the workplace.
Sample surveys, company policies and
recommended steps and procedures form
the basis for this exciting new program.
"Because the health hazards of smoking are
well understood by smokers and non-
smokers, we expect a positive response to
this program, . says Betty Hunter of The
Lung Association, Huron -Perth Counties.
