Do you need some extra boots on the ground during the summer of 2017 - Can- ada's 150th anniversary year? Why not join thou- sands of other employers and hire a summer student with the help of funding from the Government of Canada. The Government of Can- ada is now accepting appli- cations from employers. From Dec. 7, 2016 to Jan. 20, 2017 employers across the country can apply for federal government funding to hire young Canadians for next summer, with students start- ing their jobs as early as April 2017. Public -sector employers and small businesses, with 50 or fewer employees, can receive up to 50 percent of the minimum hourly wage. Not-for-profit employers can receive up to 100 percent, as well as employment-related costs. The Government recog- nizes Canada's youth are leaders today and an important and influential voice within our society. They deserve every opportu- nity to succeed. As an employer in the CSJ program, you will be boosting your local econ- omy by adding jobs, and providing these young peo- ple with the tangible expe- rience they need to start their careers. Hiring a student brings new life, energy and ideas into an organization. Eric St -Jean, Program Facilitator at Roots to Har- vest, recently shared his experience with the CSJ program: "With Canada Summer Jobs grants, we can hire students who can work the land in the summer time. Here at Roots to Harvest, we are caring for plants and animals in our space. So students get to learn that sense of responsibil- ity, and they also get the opportunity to work with a variety of community partners. Part of the job is being a leader, being a mentor. We really want to connect with o G0DERIC Canada's prettiest town MID -HURON LANDFILL SITE BOARD NOTICE OF BUDGET MEETING NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Mid -Huron Landfill Site Board will be considering the 2017 Budget and possible fee increases with intention to adopt and/ or amend said budget at a Public Meeting scheduled for: Wednesday, January 18, 2017 at 3:00 p.m. Menesetung Room, Town Hall 57 West Street, Goderich (Mrs.) Judy Kay, Treasurer, Mid -Huron Landfill Site Board youth. We really want to be in a mentoring role for them and be able to provide them with some skills beyond gardening." Providing good quality jobs doesn't just help our small businesses and not- for-profit organizations. It also supports our local prior- ities and community development. Canada Summer Jobs 2017 will focus on applica- tions which complement five national priorities, including support for: • Employers involved in the welcoming and settle- ment of immigrants (includ- ing Syrian refugees) in Canada; • Employers that hire Indigenous people; • Employers in the Sci- ence, Technology, Engineer- ing and Mathematics (STEM) and Information and Communications Tech- nology (ICT) sectors; • Employers involved in activities celebrating Cana- da's 150th anniversary of Confederation; and • Small businesses work- ing to become more innova- tive, competitive and suc- cessful, in recognition of their key contribution to the creation of new jobs. In the past, funding from CSJ has gone to projects that vary in diversity from camp counselling for kids with medical, physical and cogni- tive conditions, to library - sponsored reading programs. Applying is easy. Employ- ers can submit their applica- tion online at Canada.ca/ Canada -summer -jobs from now until January 20, 2017. The Canada Summer Jobs program has funded thousands of employers and created hundreds of thousands of student jobs. Summer 2017 is your chance to help your small business, public sector or not-for-profit organization thrive by employing ener- getic and enthusiastic young Canadians, while giving them a chance to get work experience that helps them prepare for their own career.
