The federal riding of Cloverdale-Langley City is receiving almost $421,000 in funding for the Canada Summer Jobs Program, it was announced last week.
The amount will pay for 117 jobs this summer for students aged 15 to 20.
The program provides funding to not-for-profit organizations, public sector employers and small businesses (50 employees or fewer). The aim is to create summer job opportunities for students.
“The Canada Summer Jobs program is an excellent way for youth in our community to gain valuable work experience and learn skills that will benefit them in their future,” MP John Aldag said, thanking the various organizations in Cloverdale-Langley City that have applied for funding this summer.
