Congratulations to the Town of Kensington on receiving a 2022 Reconciliation Recognition Award
The Town of Kensington was one of the recent recipients of the 2022 Reconciliation Recognition Award in May.
Mayor Caseley accepted this beautiful award on behalf of Town Council and the residents of Kataqanek (Kensington). They look forward to continuing our journey on the road to reconciliation.
 
“The Town of Kensington is being recognized as one of the recipients of the 2022 Reconciliation Recognition Award for establishing a true path toward reconciliation by focusing efforts on building a strong and lasting relationship with the Mi’kmaq.
This included Kensington’s mural unveiling ceremony at the Schurman Gazebo in May 2021 which features Mi’kmaq as well as other cultures and landmarks, recognizing the Mi’kmaq presence on Epekwitk; and other initiatives such as raising the Mi’kmaq Grand Council Flag at last year’s Treaty Day event.” – L’nuey PEI
INDUSTRY NEWS
Many employers are hiring youth this summer to work in their businesses. As a youth life coach, Lindsay Law has a unique glimpse into the teenage brain and can offer perspective and support for employers and in turn their teen employees. As employers feel more confident in communicating with their teen employees, their teen employees will feel better supported and thus perform their jobs with more confidence and effectiveness. Everyone wins! 
Participants will walk away from this session with practical tools for how to communicate with your teen employees so they both feel great this summer.
