First grass fire of 2019 A grass fire raged out of control for more than an hour Apr 22, along the CP rail line right of way crossing Highway 15 near Bruderheim.

Strathcana County firefighters and RCMP control traffic along Highway 15 as the fire leapt the highway and burnt north into the CP storage tracks. This caused a stack of debris and railway ties to catch fire giving off cloud of black, oily smoke. Recent snow and rain the past few days has put some much needed moisture into the ground.

NEWSPAPERS THAT’S AMAZING! HERE’S HOW: You mean

are still outperforming other media?

• Readers spend more time with print advertising than they do with electronic advertising. Newspapers are tangible.

Newspapers can be saved and scrapbooked.

• Newspapers close the sale of products.

Other mediums are better at driving high volume response, but the close rate on newspapers is higher because of a better educated (about the product) buyer informed through newspaper ads.

• In a Canada-wide survey in 2015, newspapers were the number one media, as chosen by vehicle buyers, for finding information which closed the purchase of cars, trucks, SUVs and all motor vehicles.

CLOSE RATES: According to Media Bids, Newspapers are still outperforming the following media by: • 40% - higher than internet • 30% - higher than radio • 22% - higher than TV

PROPER USEAGE: NEWSPAPERS If you have used

for years,

have you been advertising correctly?

One reason you may not have been, is that most newspaper customers have such faith in the historic reliability of newspapes that they only put the ad in once.

NOBODY WOULD PUT A TV, RADIO, OR INTERNET AD ON ONCE! • Media Bids statistics show that although results from newspapers can be expected to be good, the key to a successful advertising campaingn is:

MULTIPLE INSERTIONS • Sales have shown to increase 57% second insertion • Increase of 35% third insertion Consistency has proven to be the prime factor in driving response and closing a sale, more so than size of ad or positioning.

Opinion Regenerate Energy East Within a day of UCP leader Jason Kenney winning an Alberta majority government and extending an olive branch to Quebec, its Premier Francois Legault replied by stating that there is no social acceptability for a new pipeline to cross Quebec helping Alberta get its oil to market.

Meanwhile, PM Justin Trudeau delayed a final decision on the expansion of the Trans Mountain Pipeline by a month to June 18. With an upcoming October election, some experts feel this decision won’t be made prior for fear of ticking off Liberal support in British Columbia where they have 17 seats in the House of Commons.

There is no thought towards building support in Alberta, however, where Liberals only have three MPs. As always in politics, party before country. It’s the only way to explain why a country sitting on the world’s third largest oil reserves would import some 87,000 barrels of oil per day from Saudi Arabia. Not only is a tanker of oil hauled daily from 9,625 km away, but from a country with archaic human rights laws.

The cancelled TransCanada (proposed) Energy East Pipeline would have moved up to 1.1 million barrels of oil some 4,600 km to supply Eastern Canada’s needs, but also bring product to east coast refineries and ports for export.

But our own National Energy Board made life so difficult for TransCanada that they cancelled the $15.7 billion project, as the government board piled on greenhouse gas emission regulations concerning potential oil production which had nothing to do with this proposed transportation of oil.

Although it is somewhat noble worrying about environmental damage caused by Canadian oil refineries, it is short-sighted at the same time not taking into account that other countries (with few or no environmental regulations) will up their oil production if Canada does not.

World oil production continues to increase, and Canada is missing out on this glut in demand. As well, allowing other countries to produce unethical oil actually increases greenhouse gas emissions by some two million tonnes annually when you take Canada out of the equation.

Five years ago, two separate studies projected that Energy East would generate an additional $34 billion annually to the GDP. It would also provide an additional 321,000 jobs in construction and operation and give governments another $7.6 billion in tax revenues.

Yet in our topsy turvy world, Canada continues to purchase oil from foreign powers which suppress women, prevent human rights protests, mute and/or kill critical media, allow public beheadings, and imprison women’srights activists.

Should we next be importing wheat, soybeans and canola? Time to regenerate the idea of Energy East.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Alberta has long been on the cutting edge of political innovation, despite what some would have us believe The NDP election victory in 2015 is widely regarded as an accident. Many think it was an aberration in a deeply conservative province that, it’s predicted, returned to its bedrock conservative roots on election day 2019.

The conventional wisdom is that Albertans are solidly in the conservative camp and in a moment of madness, voted for a social democratic party.

But in fact, Alberta’s conservative credentials don’t stand up to scrutiny.

Sadly, the province’s image has been stripped of the lustiness of its youth. Instead, Alberta and Albertans are thought to be staid and straitlaced. The most exciting period in Alberta’s history, from the Roaring ’20s through the Dirty ’30s and beyond, has been air-brushed almost out of existence.

A century ago, bootleggers and flappers rubbed shoulders with farmers, reformers and preachers in Alberta.

Politically, the province was a hotbed of radical ideas.

A few nuggets from the past demonstrate the gap between perception and reality: • The Farmers’ Platform in 1916 called for nationalization of railways and telecommunications networks, and demanded women’s suffrage.

• Militant Alberta delegates at the Western Labour Conference in Calgary in 1919 endorsed the principle of a “proletarian dictatorship.”

• Communists were elected at the municipal level and were active during the Depression.

• When Ernest Manning was Alberta minister of trade in the 1930s, some of the measures he proposed were described by the Globe and Mail as “a long

step on the road to state socialism.”

• Premier Peter Lougheed, who was in power from 1971 to 1985, abolished the ceiling on natural resource royalties to ensure Albertans received a fair return on their resource.

• The Lougheed government also bought an airline, established the Alberta Energy Co. and invested in Syncrude to kick-start development of the oil sands.

None of these examples smack of conservatism. Far from clinging to traditional ways of thinking, Albertans have long fought hard to overturn the status quo.

Alberta, along with the other Prairie provinces, was long on the cutting edge of political innovation.

Feds inject $49 million in second polypropylene plant for Industrial Heartland

BY JOHN MATHER While the federal government isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t moving too quickly on Albertaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pipeline issues, they are supporting the construction of value added projects like the Canada Kuwait Petrochemical Companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s polypropylene complex.

The project received an infusion of federal funds Apr. 26, when Minister of Natural Resource, Amarjeet Sohi, committed $49-million to the project, a joint venture between Canada Kuwait Petrochemical Company and Pembina Pipeline Corporation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As part of Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s $1.6 billion plan to support jobs and workers in Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s oil and gas sector, this investment will help create 2,000 new jobs, while securing 1,910 construction jobs during the life of the project,â&#x20AC;? a federal government news release stated.

CKPC will use propane produced at the Pembina fractionation and storage facility in

Sturgeon County and produce polypropylene, used in the manufacture of a variety of recyclable products.

The plant, announced earlier this year, is the second such plant to be built in Albertaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Industrial Heartland.

Inter Pipe Line is in the midst of constructing a polypropylene plant on the eastern edge of Fort Saskatchewan.

"We're proud to sup-

took matters into their own hands instead of sticking to the political straight and narrow.

In more recent times, the image of Albertans as diehard conservatives has been carefully constructed for political purposes.

It started when Ernest Manning took over the Social Credit Party and sought to repair Albertaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reputation with the corporate sector. To erase memories of a province that defaulted on loans during the Depression and a party that had maligned banks, he re-invented the Socreds as corporate friendly and fiscally responsible.

Albertans also got a makeover: they were no longer a group of hotheads railing against the establishment; they were self-reliant, hardworking pioneers who morphed into entrepreneurs.

However, the prosperity that followed the discovery of oil blunted some of Albertaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s early

port CKPC's project that will take low-priced Canadian propane and produce high-quality polypropylene right here in Alberta and secure thousands of jobs in the process," Sohi said, after making the announcement.

"This project is a bold step in diversifying our resource industry, addressing the market access challenges facing Western Canada's oil and

gas industry and creating economic growth," said CKPC chairman Stuart Taylor. "Rather than taking this propane, loading a rail car and shipping it all over North America, we're going to have 100 metres of pipe that goes directly to the end market source."

Construction is expected to begin in September, with the complex fully operational by mid-2023.

Continued from Page 4 It stepped out of the political mainstream, abandoning traditional political parties for half a century. The province elected the first female politician in the British Empire (Louise McKinney, in 1917) and boasts the first female cabinet minister in Canada (Irene Parlby).

As Albertans attempted to solve the problems confronting them â&#x20AC;&#x201C; high tariffs, unfair freight rates and a tone-deaf federal government â&#x20AC;&#x201C; they lost faith in existing political institutions and tried to address them by experimenting with nonpartisanship. They were practical people who were pragmatic rather than ideological, willing to try new strategies to improve their lot. They

radicalism but hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t transformed this province into an undifferentiated mass of conservative ideologues.

Nevertheless, United Conservative Party Leader Jason Kenney is doing his best to re-ignite old grievances and rekindle memories of Western alienation.

Kenney has reverted to a tried-and-true campaign tactic: attacking the federal government.

And in a new twist, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s repeatedly uttered the phrase â&#x20AC;&#x153;the Tr u d e a u / N o t l e y allianceâ&#x20AC;? to remind voters about the once-cordial relationship between Premier Rachel Notley and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, with a subliminal nod to Trudeauâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s father, former prime minister Pierre Trudeau.

The UCP election win, isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t because Albertans are hidebound conservatives. It is because the abysmal state of the provincial economy has left them angry and in a

mood to lash out against the party in power.

FROM WHERE I SIT

Just another benefit

BY HAZEL ANAKA While I can’t cite any study off the top of my head, it’s widely accepted that meditation is good for us, both mentally and physically. In fact, a google search could have led me down the

proverbial rabbit hole for hours, had I let it. A quick look at a few websites promises multiple benefits including reduced stress; increased immunity; lowered blood pressure, inflammation, and risk of Alzheimers; relief from psoriasis, arthritis, IBS; increase in grey matter; enhanced emotional health, self-awareness, attention span; improved sleep; improved control of pain and anxiety; improved creativity and decision making; help fighting addictions AND

more. In other words, meditation is well worth the time investment.

I have started and dropped a regular meditation practice more times than I can count. It defies understanding.

Especially when we’re told that even five minutes offers benefits. Part of the issue may be the intimidation factor.

There are millions of books written about the types, techniques, howtos. Many of us have an all or nothing attitude about this (and other things). If I can’t devote

New corporate grant program could help Lamont County groups

BY JOHN MATHER Lamont area community groups will have the opportunity to apply for a charitable grant of up to $5,000 in a new program being offered by MEGlobal Canada.

The company, located in the Alberta Industrial Heartland, announced last week, it is seeking applications from local non-profit organizations that wish to implement projects and programs that improve the quality of life in their communities.

MEGlobal’s commitment to our communities is a big part of our culture and we are proud to offer a program that supports organizations that are also committed to making our communities even better places to live, work and grow, “ said MEGlobal Fort Saskatchewan Site Leader, Andrew Maile.

“We are excited to see what kinds of projects are going to be submitted.”

T o qualify for a grant, the submitting organization must have a charitable or tax exempt status as a qualified municipal or non-profit organiza-

tion in the area around the Heartland, including communities in Lamont County; apply for a minimum of $500 to a maximum of $5,000; apply online at www.meglobal.biz/community-commitment/contributuons; complete the project within one year of the funding being received; and demonstrate how the project positively contributes to at least

one element of MEGlobal’s sustainable philosophy: environment, education, economic development and or community benefit.

The selections of groups to receive the grant will be made by a committee of MEGlobal employees and will be announced in mid-June.

This is the first year the company has offered the grants.

Del Allen won overall high score for the year at the Moscow Hall Whist Card Party wind up on April 12.

two half-hour sessions per day why bother? If I can’t pick between focused attention, breath work, or mantra-based, why bother? If I’m not perfect at it, why bother?

For other people, it may be the ridicule that all new-agey, touchyfeely activities conjure.

That isn’t my problem. I believe everything is a potential tool and we’d be crazy not to avail ourselves of anything that works.

While Roy is still sleeping, I turn up the thermostat, settle into my electric chair—wait, that doesn’t sound right—recliner…because I like to elevate my legs.

I’ve already turned on my salt lamp---I adore the warm, orange glow. I cover myself with a soft throw, remove my glasses and sit in silence. In winter, this is especially

cozy. It’s dark outside.

Sometimes I stare at a particular tree in the spruce shelterbelt.

Sometimes I light a candle. I aim for ten or fifteen minutes, depending on the day.

Today, with spring here, it’s light and bright outside. By simply looking and paying attention (!) I noticed a random pattern of reflected light on the dark acacia wood bookcase.

I took a moment to realize it was sunlight from an east window hitting a purple mosaic glass vase which bounced the light into dozens of bright circles.

It was so beautiful. Just as I decided I should share the image with you, dear reader, it was gone.

The lesson was twofold. If I hadn’t been sitting there today at just this time, really looking,

I wouldn’t have seen it.

A few minutes one way or the other and I’d have missed it. On a different day the angle of the sun would have been different and it may not have happened at all.

Secondly, the image was so fleeting. Maybe that’s a metaphor for all of life.

Beauty, especially nature-created, comes and goes in the blink of an eye. If we’re not attentive, we miss it.

Period.

And maybe, just maybe the pain and challenge in our lives will be fleeting also, if we learn--no practise---just examining and releasing, without judgement all those scary thoughts. I love when an insight hits. Perhaps, it’s just another benefit of meditation, from where I sit.

Fun with Fur and Feathers Maureen Sullivan It's a market like no other, and this year Fur & Feathers, has teamed up with the Chipman Agricultural Society for the fourth annual Chipman Fur &Feathers Homesteaders Market.

According to Nichole Goy the organizer, the market is focused on farm life and homesteading. There will be a wide variety of vendors selling everything from poultry to miniature cattle, hatching eggs, animal supplies, crafts, rustic decor and woodworking. There will also be new and used equipment available for purchase.

"Interested in buying locally raised food, come out and meet the people who raise it.

Baked goods, farm fresh eggs, honey products from local producers, started veggie and bedding plants will all be available," said Goy. The petting zoo

returns with fun for the whole family. There will be glitter tattoos and other fun activities like planting a seed for free and building a bird house with Lamont Fish and Game. Hamburger, hotdogs and fries will be available at the concession.

Church Calendar On Friday, April 19, the whole school from Kindergarten to Grade 12 participated in Andrew School’s First Big Easter Egg Hunt. Each grade had a colour coordinated egg to look for throughout the whole school. When they found their egg, they had to solve a math problem then they received a special treat. Some students were lucky to even find the GOLDEN Egg for an extra special treat.

Several upcoming turnarounds scheduled for Industrial Heartland

BY JOHN MATHER While there will be plenty of industrial activity in the industrial heartland this spring, summer and fall, it shouldn’t have any major impacts on traffic through Lamont County.

There are several turn arounds planned for the area, reports Alberta’s Life in the Heartland newsletter.

Air Liquide, Evonik, Nutrien Redwater and Shell Scotford will have

turnarounds during March, April and May. June, July and into mid-August will see turnarounds going on at Keyera Energy, Oerlikon Metco, Sherritt International, Umicore, and Nutrien Redwater.

Umicore’s turnaround will continue into the fall that runs from late August to October, while Shell Scotford will have a second turnaround in the fall.

A turnaround is essen-

tially maintenance projects that take place at the industrial facilities on a regular basis, said the newsletter. Depending on the facility the turnaround can be just a few days or last a month or longer.

Because of the increase in manpower during turnarounds, traffic on area roads will increase.

The newsletter added area residents could notice visible activity and an increase in noise.

Lamont has best attended Industrial Heartland community evening MAUREEN SULLIVAN The best turnout in the last 10 years showed up at the Life in the Heartland's Spring Community Information Evening, open house at the Lamont Community Hall on April 25 according to the sponsors.

"I was delighted with the turnout, it's nice to see how many people were out, but not just out by dialed in and engaged with all the different companies and organizations," stated Mark Plamondon, Executive Director of Alberta's Industrial Heartland Association (AIHA).

It was a good news night with several vendors talking about expansion plans and hiring workers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At the AIHA we are all about economic development and the communication between companies and communities and if part of that communication is about raising awareness about job opportunities we are delighted to do so," said Plamondon.

Life in the Heartland celebrates 10 years of community engagement, allowing industry to connect with the community it serves. In collaboration with the Northeast Capital Industrial Association, Alberta's Industrial Heartland Association, the Fort Air Partnership and the Northeast Region Community Awareness Emergency Response it pools the knowledge and deploys resources as a benefit to the community and industry.

The following companies gave a brief presentation on their current activities in the community.

Wolf Midstream is the new name of Access Pipeline, according to Kurt Roebuck, Vice President of Operations, holding 100 per cent ownership they completed the purchase of Access Pipeline from Meg Energy in March 2018 and Devon Canada in 2016. They will be removing the current Access Pipeline logo and rebrand vehicles, facilities and storage tanks with the Wolf Midstream logo.

Michelle Dawson, Director of Public &

Regulatory Affairs, of Interpipline presented an update on their current projects. Thanking the people in this area for their patience this winter as they moved their large pieces of equipment down the highways and onto site in the Heartland Petrochemical Complex in Redwater.

They are building Canada's first integrated PDH (propane dehydrogenation) and PP (polypropylene) complex, converting low-cost propane into 525,000 tones per year of polypropylene, a plastic used in a wide range of products. They expect to hire 180 full time positions until construction completes in late 2021.

They are currently hiring for positions in operations and maintenance staff, supply chain, health and safety, integrity and engineering professionals, and plant optimization, quality control and lab technicians. To learn more go to interpipeline.com.

Value Creation Inc has announced plans to construct a bitumen partial upgrader in Alberta's Industrial Heartland according to David Serrel, Chief Operating Officer. The first phase will process 77,500 barrels per day of diluted bitumen into a medium crude oil and an ultra

low sulphur diesel.

Expected to be operating in 2022, the project represents more than $6 billion of capital investment into the region and into thousands of jobs.

Shell Scotford is now on social media, announced Connal MacMillan, Manager of Environmental Relations. Scotford is an integrated upgrader, refinery, chemical plan and carbon capture facility. It is the most energy efficient site of its type in the world with a carbon capture facility called Quest, the largest in the world.

MacMillan updated the audience about the fire in the facility on April 8, at 8:45 a.m. in the morning in a process furnace in the upgrader.

The unit is currently down, it was being taken apart for the turnaround, it is currently under review and the company is making plans to put it back together for this turnaround.

"No one was injured in the fire and we are very pleased with the response of our own firefighters as well as the mutual aid firefighters from Fort Saskatchewan and Strathcona, with their help we quickly minimized the severity of the fire," said MacMillan.

"There is currently a

turn around going on now at Shell Scotford and will peak at 300 workers in a few weeks, a much bigger one is planned for September and next year we have two mega turn arounds planned which will be even bigger."

Brenda Cheran, Executive Director of Northeast Region Community Awareness and Emergency Response (NRcaer) spoke about how the communities of the Industrial Heartland have come together to respond to emergencies.

Their newest project is to have dynamic road signs in place this year along the busiest roads to alert and divert motorists in case of emergency.

Fort Air Partnership (FAP) measures the concentrations of sulphur dioxide and hydrogen sulphide. The portable air monitoring station will be moving to Chipman in mid May because there had not been any continuous air monitoring done in the community before according to Nadine Blaney, Executive Director.

Also sharing information that evening but not presenting were the following companies.

Women Building Futures (WBF) is a notfor-profit organization

that trains women to acquire the skills to peruse employment in construction, skilled trades, maintenance and driving industries. With a 90 per cent employment rate and for women of all ages, they have programs starting now, visit womenbuildingfutures.com.

Sherrit International Fort Saskatchewan Facility makes nickel, cobalt and fertilizer.

They just celebrated three billion pounds of nickel production since starting in 1954. The refinery in Fort Saskatchewan treats imported feeds to produce high-purity nickel and cobalt products for export sales. Our efficient metals process generates a fertilizer byproduct, creating a value-added business that helps feed our growing population. In fact, Sherrittâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Fort Saskatchewan refinery was the first fertilizer producer in Alberta.

Pembina owns an integrated system of pipelines that transports various hydrocarbon liquids and natural gas products produced primarily in western Canada. The Company also owns gas gathering and processing facilities and an oil and natural gas liquids infrastructure and logistics business.

There are a variety of jobs available in the area.

Plains Midstream Canada (PMC) specializes in transportation, storage and processing for crude oil and natural gas. They take products from the producers and get it to processing facilities and refineries to be turned into products that benefit everyone. They stress safety, ethics and integrity, accountability and community investment as cornerstones.

Nutrien is the largest provider of crop inputs, services and solutions.

The Fort Saskatchewan Nitrogen plant produces anhydrous ammonia, aqua ammonia, and granular urea. They are hiring in the area.

Also at the event were Lamont County, Atco, Northwest Refinery, Alberta Energy Regulators, and CP Rail.

"It was a great evening, great attendance, which showed me that people in Lamont and surrounding area definitely have an interest in the Industrial Heartland. I have been at a couple of these and this one has been the best attended," said Lamont County Reeve Dave Diduck.

Doors opened at 5:00 p.m. and people were on site early to talk to the various vendors at the show before the 6:00 p.m. presentation, and stayed for the following hour afterwards.

10 - The Lamont Leader (Lamont, Alberta), Wednesday, May 1, 2019

Letter: Dear Editor: There are pros and cons to a national leader appearing at a natural disaster. For every act of goodwill, someone will question the motive behind this visit. For every bead of sweat on the brow, someone will wonder if he or she wouldn’t rather be somewhere else.

By and large, the positives far outweigh the negatives.

That’s why Canadian leaders often appear at natural disaster sites to raise a community’s spirit and give them hope.

Former prime minister Jean Chretien’s visit to Kelowna after the 2003 Okanagan Mountain Park fire, for instance, was just as meaningful as former prime minister Stephen Harper’s 2013

visit to Calgary and southern Alberta after the horrible floods.

(Harper’s wife Laureen, who grew up in the region, rolled up her sleeves and participated in the cleanup.)

But in most cases, the Liberal or Conservative prime minister of the day had no interest in being the main focus of the story. It was the event, community and tragedy that mattered most.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau just changed the channel on that longheld perception. He did what most would have believed unthinkable: he caused a public relations nightmare by participating in a relief effort at a natural disaster.

Last weekend, Trudeau and his young sons were in Constance

Disaster zones might not be the best place for PM’s photo ops

Bay, Ont., to visit one of several flood zones in the Ottawa-Gatineau region.

Volunteers were filling sandbags because massive rainfall had dangerously increased the local water levels. The PM and his offspring pitched in and filled sandbags, too.

Great. He was doing exactly what a leader should do in this situation. If it had continued, he would have been praised for his participation.

That’s expecting way too much from this prime minister, however.

After 15 or so minutes of filling up sandbags, Trudeau started taking photos with military personnel and volunteers.

This led to a tense conversation (caught on video) with a self-identified volunteer apparent-

ly trying to help someone save their home.

“You know how long you’ve held up people picking up bags?” he asked the PM. “I’ve been waiting in line down the road for 30 minutes while you’ve been here soaking up the rays.”

He blasted Trudeau for participating in a “photo-op” and said, “While you’re here, no one can pick up sand.

You held people up, all the RCMP and security held people up.”

Trudeau turned around and spoke to him. The volunteer was visibly irritated, but he listened and pointed out “he was with a guy who was a staunch conservative” who said if the PM “would actually do work, he’d change his vote and vote for you.”

The PM apologized for the delay and acknowledged the “frustrations with security” he experiences “every day of my life.” The conversation broke down, but not before the PM told the volunteer that his point of view was “unfriendly and unneighbourly.”

Yikes.

This was obviously a difficult situation.

Tensions and emotions were understandably high.

Nevertheless, Trudeau didn’t handle this exchange with the volunteer very well and shouldn’t have made that comment at the end.

The PM has had to walk back several comments over the years and he should do the same here.

Above all, Trudeau shouldn’t have been

involved in a photo-op during a natural disaster (or brought his young sons, for that matter).

Even though he’s been nicknamed the “selfie PM” with good reason, what would possess him to smile and laugh for the cameras at a flood zone with people’s lives, homes and businesses hanging in the balance?

Some have regarded this incident as silly, small and meaningless.

I disagree. Trudeau’s intentions may have been good to start but he made it all about himself at the end.

It shows a great deal about his character and leadership – and what it sorely lacks.

CSJ helps students find summer employment MAUREEN SULLIVAN Students looking for a summer job close to home in Lamont County need look no further than the Canada job bank for youths. Canada Summer Jobs (CSJ) is part of the Government of Canada Youth Employment Strategy, helping young people gain the skills and work experience they need to find and keep good quality jobs.

There are currently 85,000 jobs available for youth on Jobbank.gc.ca/youth, 4,703 of those job are in Alberta.

This year, they are open to all youth between the ages of 15 and 30 who are eligible to work in Canada, and have a valid Social Insurance Number, not

just students.

For CSJ 2019, the emphasis is on the creation of quality work experiences for youth, providing them with opportunities to develop and improve their skills, and to improve access to the labour market for youth including those who face barriers personally or by where they live.

A majority of the local jobs available are with the towns and villages.

"It is never too early to get the kids involved in working with the town," said Lamont Mayor, Bill Skinner.

This year's national CSJ priorities support: organizations that provide services to, or intend to hire, youth who selfidentify as being part of under-represented

Blanket Alberta Ads take approximately 10 days to process

groups or who have additional barriers to participate in the labour market; opportunities for youth to gain work experience related to the skilled trades; opportunities for youth in rural areas and remote communities, and Official Language Minority Communities; small businesses, in recognition of their contribution to job creation; and organizations that deliver supports or services to seniors.

"These Summer Employment Programs offered by both the federal and provincial governments enable the Village of Chipman to complete various public works projects that would not get done otherwise," according to Keiron Willis, Administrative

Assistant of the Village of Chipman.
