You must work
-welfare or not
The Ministry of
Community and Social
Services is reminding all
Ontario municipalities
that employable adults
either applying for or
already receiving' social
assistance are required
to look for and accept any
available work for which
they are physically
capable. '
In a letter sent this
week to the more than 320
social services ad-
ministrators and clerks
in Ontario, the Ministry
said that under the
existing legislation and
policies, the expectation _
is that employable people
must use their own
resources to the fullest
extent. General Welfare
Assistance, which is_
administered by the
municipalities; "should not
be considered an alter-
native to employment.
The letter advises local
administrators to refer
people capable of
working to whatever jobs
of either short or long
term duration are
available in their general
area.
"If work; is available
where a person is living,
then they are expected to
accept it, provided they
are capable of doing so.
This is especially true in
rural areas of Ontario .
where employers at
present are having dif-
ficulty finding workers
for farm labour, "the
--Minister; - i{ eith -C..._-Nor- -
ton, said.
A person may be
deemed ineligible, or the
amount of assistance
they receive reduced, if
they fail to accept the
employment without
sufficient justification. `
It was approved to
grant .the Huron County
Farmstead Improviement
Competition $20.0. -

tendent reported, the
