Businesses around the valley hiring summer workers are being encouraged to attend a presentation on the Canada Summer Jobs Program.
The Town of Drumheller and the Chamber of Commerce are putting on the presentation to give local businesses more information on the program, which provides funding for not for profit organizations, public sector employers and small businesses to create summer jobs for students between the ages of 15 and 30.
Two senior development officers from Service Canada will be coming out from Calgary to explain the program on January 26.
The event begins at 7:00 p.m. in the Badlands Community Facility in Hall C.
"(This is) to provide information on what the Canada Summer Jobs Program, put on by the Federal Government, is all about, how you can apply for it and what the criteria is to be eligible," economic development officer with the Town of Drumheller Cody Glydon explained.
He added that those who are looking for employment are encouraged to come find out about the program as well.
