Canada Summer Jobs
The Canada Summer Jobs program available by the Government of Canada aims to provide all young people (ages 15 to 30 years) with quality work experience; responds to national and local priorities to improve access to the labour market for youth who face unique barriers; and provides opportunities for youth to develop and improve their skills. Summer employment opporunities throughout the Diocese of London will be posted to the 'Employment and Volunteering' page as they become available; please check back if this opporunity is of interest to you.
