The Honourable Vic Toews, Minister of Public Safety and Member of Parliament for Provencher, congratulated the organizations and students in Provencher that will benefit from this year’s federal Canada Summer Jobs program.
Approximately 60 organizations in the constituency will be able to create about 60 summer job opportunities for students, thanks to an investment of $199,984 by the Government of Canada.
“I am very pleased that students in our community will be able to benefit from quality summer job opportunities right here in Provencher,” said Minister Toews. “These projects, while providing students with work experience, will also benefit local organizations and small businesses.”
Canada Summer Jobs is a Government of Canada initiative that supports work experiences for students while also helping organizations that provide important community services. It encourages not-for-profit organizations, public sector employers and small businesses with 50 or fewer employees to create jobs that not only meet their needs, but also benefit students looking to gain work experience.
“In light of the current economy, it is more important than ever that we help our students,” added Minister Toews. “This means creating more jobs that prepare them for the workforce through experience and learning opportunities across the country.”
