Funding; has been increased from $43.8 -million last year to create 1,000 more jobs .and to cover the increase in the minimum wage. The an- nouncement was made by the Minister in a speech to the Board of Directors of the On-. tario Chamber of Commerce. . In his speech, Mr. Sorbara said that the outlook for the summer job market generally healthy, however, sumr- :r jobs are scarcer, in Northern Ontario than in other parts of the province. The Minister stated, "This government is continuing its commitment to young people because we know that summer employment adds immeasurably to the on-the-job train- ing and work experience of our youth. It broadens their horizons, providing them with that very important and hard to get first job experience," he added. In announcing that special attention would be paid to Northern Ontario the Minister said that 23 per cent of the Ex- perience jobs would be located in the north. He also said northern business that applied for funding through OSEP would be given .special consideration. The programs are:, Start -Up which .,.provides interest-free loans to students for summer businesses. The Minister said' he expects about 1,250 businesses to be started, creating 1,500 jobs. The Ontario Summer Employment Pro- gram pays employers $1.25 an hour toward the salaries of young people hired for new summer jobs. About 53,000 jobs will be created this summer through OSEP. Experience '87 will provide 7,500' career - related jobs in 26 Ontario government ministries and associated organizations. .

Knergy managment saving Ontario Schools $28 million TORONTO — Fiscal foresight, careful planning, timely action, and a' relatively small investment, are saving an estimated $28 -million a year for Ontario's elementary and secondary schools, Ontario Energy Minister 'Vincent G. Kerrio announced recently. "Ili 1976, after the first energy price shocks, my ministry got together with the Ministry of Education to deal with rapidly rising energy costs. Together they worked out an energy management program for On- tario's schools, which has produced total savings to date of more than $200 -million," Mr. Kerrio said. The minister stressed that energy management is generally straight forward, and . involves , things like installing more energy-efficient doors and windovys and automatic setback thermostats, adding in- sulation and switching from oil heating to' other less expensive fuels. Under the schools energy management program, school boards provide an average of one-quarter of the cost of energy conser- vation measures, with the remaining 75 per- cent shared equally by the Ministries of Energy and Education. A' "The Boal of the pt'naram ie to nntirade provincial educational facilities by making them more energy-efficient. Over the 'past 10 years, major economies have been achieved under the program with a relative- ly small investment," said Education Minister Sean Conway. Mr. Conway pointed out that the schools program has cost about $18 -million to date, and that the money has been invested in some 4,600 elementary and secondary schools. He noted that the investment is sav- ing an estimated $28 -million in avoided costs .in 1985-86 alone, and that saving money on energy helps make more funds available for schools to implement educational programs and services. ` Mr. Kerrio added that better energy management in the public sector achieves several government goals, "Wiser energy use helps reduce operating costs for public facilities, and also reduces Ontario's reliance on oil, Which has a volatile price and uncertain security. Achieving major economies in the public sector also shows important leadership. Hopefully, private sector companies will be encouraged to adopt similar measures when they see the tremendous; savings that are there," he said.
