Services Canada has just posted the following Youth 
Employment program information...Deadline is March 30, 2007:
&quot;Canada Summer Jobs is a new initiative of the Summer Work 
Experience program. It provides wage subsidies to help 
Canadian employers of not-for-profit, public sector, and smaller 
private sector organizations with 50 or fewer employees create 
career-related summer jobs for students between the ages of 15 
and 30 at the start of employment.
The initiative is specifically designed to help students having 
trouble finding summer jobs because of where they live and/or 
other barriers.
Canada Summer Jobs is about:
- creating jobs that would not otherwise be created; 
- helping students who need it the most because of where they 
live and/or other barriers; 
- providing high-quality, career-related summer jobs. 
Canada Summer Jobs is focused on encouraging not-for-profit, 
public sector, and smaller private sector employers with 50 or 
fewer employees to create jobs that not only meet their needs, 
but benefit young people who need jobs the most.
Priority will be given to proposals which:
- employ students living in communities with high youth 
unemployment rates; small urban, rural or remote areas; and/or 
high crime areas; 
- employ students facing barriers to the labour market, such as 
those with disabilities, visible minorities and Aboriginal 
students; 
- provide students with meaningful and career-related work 
experience as well as an important financial contribution towards 
their continued education and future; 
- create job opportunities for students to work in organizations 
with social, community, health or environmental mandates.&quot;
