Put my call into HRDC last week after receiving my "Dear John" letter. =
We applied for 4 positions and each year have been granted 3 of 4 =
positions so we counted on them and hired them already. Did not receive =
any funding from HRDC, though did for 1 YCW/BOL student.
My HRDC rep responded today explaining that we scored a whopping 26 out =
70. After we reviewed the app and my scores and I explained my situation =
he said that it is open until July 23rd and I may still receive =
something. To keep my fingers crossed??=20
Since then, one of our dear elder friends who was watching the house of =
commons on TV called us to tell us that this issue arose today in house =
of commons and it was mentioned that the Summer program change was =
directed at trying to weed out those who abuse the summer placement =
program (such as Wal-Mart's etc) and that the new program was not =
intended to weed out those in a non-profit status. What does that =
mean??? We keep our fingers crossed.
We also decided to cancel our YCW grant as it will be very difficult to =
deal with already hired staff (3 that were to be on the HRDC grants) and =
have been searching elsewhere for grants. We have discovered that we may =
be able to put 3-4 members of our present staff on another program where =
they are paid by U.I.C. to work. We will look into this further =
tomorrow. Will keep you posted on it.
Tomorrow a.m. CBC NORTH has decided to do an interview with our =
organization in regards to the affect this lack of funding will have on =
our season. The interviewer has also been researching more on the issue.
I wish you all luck and feel for your frustration.

Well I put in my twenty minutes: the 1-800 number gets you to someone =
who has no idea what you are talking about. I was also referred to =
Susan Murdoch who was in a meeting and then to Kent O'Connor who was =
pleasantly patronizing, and kept saying that the $5 million that is =
supposed to help museums is not to compensate for the HRDC cuts (I'm =
sure someone said that the $5 million was specifically to compensate for =
the HRDC cuts) but is just to help us out, but they have not decided =
when, and it will be going through the YCW program at CMA.
=20
As for HRDC, the Minister of Veteran's Affairs (no idea why him) =
announced last week that all the organizations across the country that =
have been cut will be funded. Odd that no one has followed up on that =
with an announcement. I think the government is falling apart.

Thanks for your suggestion regarding phoning Minister Oda and the PM, =
Lee Boyko. I tried phoning on Victoria Day when I wasn't working =
myself.
=20
Neither number you gave will afford an opportunity to leave a message =
after hours unless a 'mailbox number' is supplied. =20
I had none.
=20
This morning, at 11am Ottawa time, I tried Minister Oda's phone number. =
I was redirected to a gentleman who redirected me to Lyn Elliot Sherwood =
(819 997 7774) who is, apparently "in charge of museums", and thence, as =
she was not in her office, to Susan Murdoch (997 8756) who was not in =
her office either and whose answering machine clicked off as I started =
to speak. The process took twenty minutes.=20
=20
There is a toll free number: 1 800 720 0994. Ask for the local 819 or =
ask to speak to Lyn (Elliot) Sherwood... My receptionist found her name =
listed under Sherwood, not Elliot.=20
=20
I hope you all have better luck than I did. =20

Hi Everyone,
I would like to encourage all of you to pick up your phones and call =
the following two numbers:
(613) 992-2792 This is Minister Oda's phone number
(613) 992-4211 This is Prime Minister Harpers number
Call them, even if after hours and leave a message.
Simply ask them what is happening with the announced summer student =
funding for museums? Many museum that have traditionally been supported =
by the exisiting summer student programs have heard in the past few days =
that they are getting nothing this year.
Add your personal stories.
Cheers
Lee Boyko
