Budget 2012

Some of the highlights include:

Did you know there was a "ThirdQuarter" project to connect workers over the age of 50 to potential employers? At this time, it's in a grand total of 14 communities across Canada, in Manitoba, BC, Saskatchewan, and the Atlantic provinces, through the chambers of commerce...so if you're not in with your local chamber, it's time to get involved!

But only if you're in Amherst, Brandon, Greater Victoria, Portage la Prairie, South Okanagan, Summerside, Winkler/Morden, Arborg/Interlake, Dauphin, Humboldt, Regina, Selkirk, Steinbach or Thompson....
