There will be a public meeting for the Official Community Plan on November 28th at 7 pm.  This will be held at the Civic Centre. 

We would like to encourage our Chamber Members to attend this meeting as everyone will have a chance to voice their concerns with the OCP.  This meeting and the ideas that come from it will shape the direction of the steering committee.  We all know we have a community who cares about what happens in this town and we would like all groups to be heard. 

Are you an employer in the retail or hospitality industry seeking motivated employees?

Recently 12 enthusiastic individuals started the Ready-SET-Work! program at the Career Centre, whichis a full time, five week, service-excellence program.  Participants will gain employability skills and earn certificates in FoodSafe, Serving It Right, First Aid, WHMIS, Cashier Training and World Host.

Starting November 26, 2016 these individuals will be job ready and employers hiring graduates will receive a 50% wage subsidy for 12 weeks from the Career Centre to support the cost of training on the job.  We encourage you to take advantage of this opportunity to meet your long term human resource needs and support continuous learning through on the job training and mentorship.

We also want you to be aware, as part of this program, we are hosting a mini hiring fair Monday November 21st from 10:30 to 12:30in Room 328 at the Career Centre. If you are interested in participating in this mini hiring fair or the wage subsidy hiring initiative, please contact Diana Jolly at 250.248.3205 ext. 236 or [email protected].
