farmers to
hire youth
TORONTO - Ontario Agricul-
ture, Food and Rural Affairs Minis-
ter Noble Villeneuve announced re-
cently financial help is still
available to farmers who want to
hire Ontario youth this summer.
He said the Ontario government's
Summer Experience Program will
support 29,000 jobs for youth this
summer, including 1,500 under the
Summer Experience Wage Assis-
tance Program (SEWAP) in agri-
culture. "Agriculture, Food and Ru-
ral Affairs is sponsoring 1,500 jobs
this summer, and I want to see all
the positions filled. There are still,a
few hundred openings for employ-
ers and young people, and I am in-
viting them to send in their applica-
tions before the July 22 deadline,"
Villeneuve said.
Villeneuve said the program al-
lows rural youth to find work close
to home, and enables farmers to
hire additional help during the sum-
mer months.
SEWAP offers eligible farniers
$3 per hour in wage assistance for
a maxium period of seven weeks to
a maximum of $840. Eligible farm-
ers must create a new job that lasts
at least six weeks and provides 30
to 40 hours of work per week. SE -
WAP jobs are open to young peo-
ple aged 15 to 24, or 15 to 29 if the
person has a disability. Immediate
family members of farmers are not
eligible for the program, and only
positions created after May 27,
1996 are eligible.
Applications are available at min-
istry offices. Information can also
be obtained by calling the Farni
Assistance Programs Branch, at
(416) 326-3492. Applications must
be submitted with the employer's
valid Farm Business Registration
Number and the $25 application
fee. Applications must be received
by July 22, 1996.
Villeneuve also encouraged non-
farm employers in rural Ontario to
participate in the Ontario govern-
ment's other summer job pro-
grams. Information is available
through the toll-free Training Hot-
line at 1-800-387-5656.
TORONTO - Rural, agricultural
and community organizations are
undergoing dramatic changes in re-

ers of organizations and communi-
ties across Ontario.

riculture, Food and Rural Affairs,

past four years. It is a dynamic,
hands-on, seminar for active mem-
bers of associations and groups in
rural Ontario. The fall program is
being held from Tuesday, Septem-
ber 17 to Friday, September 20, at
the YMCA Geneva Park Confer-

of Orillia.

The program supports the mainte-
nance and development of strong
leadership demanded in rural com-
munities across Ontario during
these changing times.

ing meals, facilities, professional
