more commonly known as work- merit of any employee and no one

in Huron in September, John been held by a paid employee with-
MacKinnon, social services admin-
istrator told County Council, July
4.
At that point, MacKinnon said,
the county welfare office will take
on the look of an employment
agency trying to find work for able-
bodied people seeking welfare. It
will be mandatory to work to
receive welfare except for exemp-
tions such as those attending sec-
ondary school full time. The object
is to break the welfare cycle -and
give people pride in work.
Work will be provided in non-
profit community projects — there
will be no placements in the private
bituaries
ing the last two years. No one can
work in one position for more than
six months. Sponsors are responsi-
ble for on-site supervision.
The Social Services department
will contract with non-profit and
commercial employee placement
services to find the jobs. These
agencies will be paid on a perfor-
mance basis, getting money only
for jobs that are found.
The department is currently cre-
ating its business plan which will
be submitted to the province by the
end of July. The draft will be con-
sidered at the July meeting of the
Social and Cultural Services com-
mittee and a public meeting will be
held July 24 to discuss the propos-
al.
