Photo - Bob Watson) Seminar On Cultural Diversity Durham College has an- nounced that its first seminar on "Managing Cultural Diversity In Your Workplace and Marketplace" will be held Nov. 29th at the Oshawa campus. By the year 2000, over 51% of new entrants into the work force will be im- migrants and non- European. Currently, more than 60% of newcomers to Canada settle in Ontario, the majority in Metropolitan Toronto. How can you effectively manage an increasingly diverse work force? How can you improve your ser- vice to a more multiracial customer base? Bill Hutchison answers these questions in his in- novative seminar designed to help managers and employees work more ef- fectively with people of dif- ferent races or cultural backgrounds. Bill is President of the Hutchison Group, a con- sulting firm specializing in diversity training for business. government and the voluntary sector. He has 15 years previous ex- perience with the Ministry of Culture and Citizenship. During the 1980's he managed the development of Ontario's first Inter- cultural Communications Training Program.

Let's Kill The Expensive GST t ,t PRINTING es�.raea College Agreement Officials from the Durham Board of Educa- tion and Durham College signed an articulation agreement on Mon. Nov. 5th at the Durham Board office, 555 Rossland Road West, Oshawa. The agreement, entitled "The Right Connection", is designed to ease the transi- tion of students from secon- dary schools to college and to enhance their potential for success. The agreement will in- volve the formation of several pilot projects. A "Subject Articulation" pro- ject, similar to the O'Neill CVI model which has operated for the past two years, will smooth the tran- sition into college and may allow some advance stan- ding in a Durham College program - The "Course Within a Course" project will add a three day component to a student's in -school part of a co-operative education. Three days at the college provides co-op students with possible college causes connected to their co-op placement. The "Ar- ticulated Program", similar to the Integrated Apprenticeship program will allow students to finish their O.S.S.D. while gain- ing advanced standing in a college program. The "Teacher Awareness Program" would help secondary teachers become more aware of the scope of pro- gramming and facilities at Durham College. The above four projects will involve one secondary school each. A special pilot project for two elementary schools will also be established. The two schools are E.A. Fairman PS. Whitby, and Lester B. Pearson PS. Ajax. The "Grade 7 & 8 Awareness Program" will provide students with an in- troduction to applied arts. health sciences. business. trades and technical studies. while making them aware of Durham College facilities and alternatives regarding post -secondary education. The Durham Board of Education and Durham College officials are ex- cited about the scope of "Tte Right Connection.. particularly the addition of a pilot project involving elementary students.

November 7. 1990 Opinion a page for expression for you and us On The GST Dear Sir: It is with great interest that I read your column of September 26th on the issue of the G.S.T. I must inform you that you miss the purpose of the G.S.T. when you recom- mend a retail tax on goods only. The aim of tax reform is to share the burden of taxation over all of the Canadian economy and ease the challenge to the Canadian manufac- turing sector. This will create more opportunities and jobs for Canadians. I can assure you that the Prime Minister and all Members of Parliament are aware of the current economic problems facing Canada, but somehow the message of the economic benefits of the G.S.T. is not getting through. In your editorial. you suggest that a 4.7% increase in in- come taz would have replaced the need for the G.S.T. For your information. personal income tax generates about $52 billion in revenue for the government and the Federal Sales Tax about $18 billion. Replacing the revenue generated by the F.S.T. would therefore require an increase of about 30%. not 4.7%. in personal tax rates. This option is clearly unacceptable. For your information. we would need to raise corporate tax rates 150% to generate the same revenue from the cor- porate sector. Finally, you propose cuts in government spending which I will and do gladly endorse. Can you please verify publicly that you would support the government's cancellation of the subsidies which newspapers such as yours receive. approx- imately $55 million. to reduce your costs of distribution through Canada Post'. I have noticed that your newspaper has opposedmany of the cuts made by the government I would be interested in heanng about your views on the preceding. Sincerely. Rene Soetens. M.P. Ontano Dear Rene Soet ens The cuts of $220 million in government funds to the post office to compensate it for mailing newspapers and other publications at "second class" mailing costs was done M)en the post office finally announced a profit on its opera- tions. The post office to compensate a bit raised second class mailing rates up a notch to help It adjust. However, the "freedom of speech" and "freedom of press" concepts in our democracy has exempted newspapers. magannes and books from sales taxes ever since Canada was started.

Nov. 8th. For one extraor- dinary summer they have the chance to get away from overprotective parents and the endless procession of doctors, to be like regular teenagers They call themselves "Princes In Exile". They have cancer, and they live with the harsh knowledge that they may never reach their 20's, never be troubl- ed by a college application, never watch their parents grow old, and so they magnify the time they have left: having fun, discover- ing love, forming friend- ships, making plans, all for a future they may never see. Produced by Cinepix Inc. and the National Filmboard of Canada, Princes in Exile follows the poignant, often humorous right of passage of Ryan Rafferty (Zachary Ansley) a shy, intelligent, 17 year old, who spends three weeks at Camp Hopkins, a summer retreat for children with cancer. Diagnosed as having a brain tumor, Ryan has angrily resigned to the fact that he may not live to see another year. With time running out, he clings to two goals: publishing his journal, and losing his virginity (nal necessarily in that order). But the friendships Ryan builds that summer change his life. His cynicism fades when he meets Robert (Nicholas Shields), a daredevil who wages a daily war against death, and Holly ( Stacy Mistysyn), a young girl who may have lost her leg to cancer. but not her fighting spirit. In their op- timism and defiant refusal to surrender to the disease. Ryan finds a new strength. Princes In Exile is a film 4 Ontario Groups Get Crime Prevention Awards Four Ontario organiza- tions received the Solicitor General of Canada Crime Prevention Award in Toronto at a special cer- mony and luncheon held at the Sheraton Centre Hotel, Dominion Ballroom on Fri. Nov. 2nd. The awards are presented annually as part of National Crime Preven- tim Week. Celebrated this year from Nov. 410, the week was created in 1963 to promote increased public support of, and involve- ment in crime prevention programs - This year's theme, "Families and Com- munities Working Together"focuses on the many things Canadians can do within their families, at school, at work and elsewhere in the com- munity to help prevent crime. One of the organizations Children's Services Com- mittee, Rotary Aub of Toronto, received the award. Working closely with the Metropolitan Toronto Police Force, the Children's Services Com- mittee, Rotary Aub of Toronto has successfully completed a video project designed to assist parents to achieve a better understanding of today's drug problem. Entitled "Face to Face", this prevention: education video allows parents to become more aware of il- licit drugs, what they look like, how they are used and where they can receive help. The committee raised the W000 required for this production and assisted in the writing and production of this excellent 16 minute Video. Accepting the award on behalf of the Children's Services Committee, Rotary Aub of Toronto, was Jim Deeks, Chairman. VM f Indianapolis Scarborough Peace Games Inc.

A survey of political can- didates during the summer election campaign in- dicated the New Democrats have a good understanding of the bureaucratic delays and other problems that con- tribute to construction delays and push the cost of homes higher, Libfeld said. "Foully 94 percent of the NDP candidates know that insufficient infrastructure equates to less develop- ment and higher housing prices," said libfeld, presi- dent of the Tribute Cor- poration, one of the Toronto area's largest home builders. "The survey also showed that there are other areas where we have a common understanding with the Christmas Gift Baskets The perfect Christmas gift. Professional presentation with a personal touch.

"One hundred percent of the NDP candidates we surveyed told us that growth and environmental protection can continue together. " libfeld encouraged the government to work with the industry to attain its goal of providing 20,000 non-profit housing units a year. "The current way On- tario produces these units is inefficient and costs tax- payers more than it should. We want to provide more non-profit housing and we can do it for less money than the government," the OHBA president said. "It will also further our goals for job creation which are consistent with the goals of the government. " Libfeld challenged builders to take a more ac- tive role in keeping their provincial politicians and consumers aware of the problems they face in try- ing to bring affordable homes to the market. The Ontario Home Builders' Association represents 400 companies in the residential construc- tion industry. Its members build over 80 percent of the houses in Ontario each Year. It is active in 32 locals across the province.

November 7, 1990 Bill Watt's Worlds ON STAGE: The renowned and honoured theatre critic, Brooks Atkinson didn't like Oklahoma' Brooks Atkin- son didn't like the musical that was ground -breaking for its time and has become the most popular musical of the last half century. The anecdote is re- counted here again to il- lustrate what should be a fundamental and that is that critics' opinions of a play, or any other of the performing arts for that matter, cannot determine an audience's acceptance Of it. Oh, there are a few critics of stature who can bully an audience into believing that a work is bet- ter than it truly is but no critic can deny the success of a good work. "The play's -still -the thing" and an audience will always reward a good one . . regardless of what any critic opines. Now, let us address M. Butterfly which has finally come to Toronto and is playing at The Elgin. It has been critically honoured muchly-a Tony award among others -and plays to good audiences where ever it appears. It is a good play obviously and audiences like it. On that statement alone this writer could, in good conscience, urge all those who read this to go and see it. Still, we could be less than honest with ourself if we did not voice our own opinion of M. Butterfly, an opinion which we believe has been formed objective- ly rather than subjectively. Frankly, we think M. Butterfly has been rather over rated as a popular at- traction and is of more in- terest to dedicated and knowledgeable theatregoers. On the sur- face of it, the writing is slick as is the mounting of the production itself. In fact, the play is over- written and the production over technicalized. Intend- ed shock becomes schlock and cupidity takes the place of stupidity. Andrew Uoyd Webber will un- doubtedly turn it into a musical. The play by David Henry is inspired by an actual cir- cumstance still very much in the news. It is the story of a French diplomat on assignment in the Orient. He meets and falls in love with a beautiful performer in Chines opera. They begin a long affair. The diplomat. supposedly still KALLY'S SPECIAL # 1 STEAK 8 N/BS $10.95 Charcoal Broiled Jr. Cut N.Y.

One block east of McCowan 431.7157 AroundandAbout Your Dining & Entertainment Guide under the spell of Western idealization of the Orient calls her Butterfly. It turns out, however. that Madame Butterfly is actually, M. Butterfly, a man who performs as a woman. Not only is Butterf- ly a man, he is a spy who has been assigned to the diplomat. Quite a denoument right? Not at all. The narrative is in flashback so there is no element of surprise or shock. Instead one is sub- jected to long sophomoric ramblings about East and West. men and women and an idealized (there's that word again) sexual middle. Dare one refer to it as No Man's Land? Philip Anglim plays the diplomat and in the main. does so very well. The author's deliberate am- biguity about the role is such that each actor who essays it must make of it what he sees in it. Mr. Anglim apparently sees his stage self as a bit of a twit longing for romantic love. He is not a Pinkerton. he truly loves his Butterfly. Neither, however, is he a Sharpless who could take command of a situation. One congratulates Mr. Anglim for his perfor- mance but cannot state if it is what the author intend- ed. Neither perhaps can the author. The title role is played in tour de force fashion by A. Mapa. As a woman, he is beautiful; as a man, he is pretty. As the former, he is charming; as the latter, he is manipulative. Yet, there is allowable ambivalence here. Does be love the diplomat or does he love bisexual copulation? Is he a true follower of Communism or simply one who does what ever is necessary to survive? Should an audience em- pathize, sympathize or simply despise? Congratulations to Mr. Mapa as well. Kudos to all cast members.

More recently we repaired to The O'Keefe again, this time to see the National Ballet production of Onegin with music by Tchaikowsky. At this point, a caveat should be offered. The ballet Onegin is to the music of the master but it is not the opera Eugene Onegin set to to dance. None of the music in the opera is heard in the ballet. One imagines that's so that the music doesn't over- power the dance. Like the opera. however, the narrative of the ballet concentrates on Tatiana rather than the title character. As Tatiana we were privileged to see Ekaterina Maximova, prima ballerina assoluta. What a delightful presence she is; tiny. ex- quisite and light as thistle down. She is also a true ensemble artiste. When she is on stage, her star quality is much in evidence yet never at the expense of her fellow dancers. As a dancer, her strength seeress to lie in the almost incredible way she allows a lift and her energy at the apex of same. Her pied a pied is also excellent though personally one prefers the neck rigidity of of the North American style rather than the swan effect of the European. Her acting is in the grand manner and all of a piece with the drama unfolding. A delightful performance and we think we're in love again. Rex Harrington danced the title role and well in- deed. He is an admirable partner for Mlle. Max- imova, strong and reliable with his lifts; lyrical both en I'air et au terre. Jeremy Ransom danced Lensky. It seems to us that he might have gained a bit of necessary extra weight on his limbs and it helps with his lifts though they are still not his majot suit. His skill and artistry re- main a clean, lithe line and excellent visual response. Margaret Inman danced with elan as Tatiana's sister and Lensky's betrothed though her balon has not yet achieved ex- cellence. To be fair however it was evident in her descent from a lift with Mr. Ransom. Serge Lavoie impressed as always in the role of Prince Gremin. Paul Connelly conducted the almost esoteric score with warmth and con- fidence. A fine evening of ballet; CODA: In recent weeks we have seen Madama Butterfly and M. Butterfly; Eugene Onegin and Onegin. Opera, ballet and Legitimate theatre -all within easy parametres of space and time.

This represents monies raised in the 600 Canadian communities that have Kinsmen and Kinette Clubs and directed back to their hometowns for use in a wide range of service projects. In this the 70th Anniver- sary year of Kinsmen, the association is extremely proud that it contributed a record $1.6 million to the Canadian Cystic Fibrosis Foundation bringing the total dollars contributed to CF research since Kin sup- port began in 1964 to over $14 million. Kinsmen and Kinettes also support many other organizations including Operation Go Home, the Shining Light Child Abuse Prevention Program, the Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada and Swimm- ing/Natation Canada. The Kinsmen Foundation of Saskatchewan and the Kinsmen Rehabilitation Foundation of British Col- umbia, both of which serve the needs of disabled peo- ple in these provinces, again had successful fund raising years. Maintaining this level of service excellence will be a formidable challenge for newly elected national presidents, Gord Charlesworth and Catherine Newham both of Portage la Prarie, Man. National Kinsmen Presi- dent Gord Charlesworth has been a Kinsmen since 1975 and is employed as a special education teacher for the Province of Manitoba. The association's first National Kinette President Catherine Newham joined Kinettes in 1978 and is cur- rently a member of the Kinette Club of Portage la Prairie.

Asbestos Program Up- dated The board received and approved a status report detailing the board's Asbestos and Environmen- tal Program. Last spring, specially trained teams of MSSB employees represen- ting management, teaching and non-academic union groups completed a preliminary inspection of all MSSB schools to locate "friable" materials. Items of concern were repaired over the summer months under the direction and control of outside con- sultants. A second, more detailed, inspection by out- side consultants is now underway. To date, 73 of the board's 22B schools have been inspected. No in- stances of asbestos deterioration that would necessitate school closure or partial isolation have been found. It is expected that the second inspection will be completed by May 31, 1991.

November 7, 1990 Business Community News NINN Position Yourself For Turn Around Canada may be facing a long, tough recession yet many investors believe the future is looking good. They look back at recent economic history and realize that every time the economy "bottoms out" it has bounded back, with market values growing as much as 20 percent in the first year of recovery and 40 percent in the second. One Toronto-based hospitality company sees the current recession as an opportunity to lead the lodging industry. Accor- ding to Brian Birnbaum. Chairman of the Hospitali- ty Equity Group of Com- panies, this recession is the beginning of an ultra -price - conscious decade that will have a dramatic effect on the lodging industry. While most investors are taking a wait and see attitude, his company is taking bold in- itiatives to position the company for the budget - minded future. "History shows that the economy always rebounds," he says. "And smart investors will alwa%-s take advantage of a weak economy to position themselves for the turn- around." Unlike most hotels. winch are cutting back to retain their position in a dwindling market. the Hospitality Equity Group is expanding by developing Sleep Inns, a new chain of budget hotels which they believe will lead the market. The company believes Sleep Inns to be a dramatically different con- cept that sets a new Stan- dard for price -value. per- formance and customer satisfaction. For as low as SM a night, the Sleep Inns guest rooms feature such in -room amenities as refrigerated mini -bars, remote controll- ed colmw tekvisions with built-in VCRs, and telephones with dataports for personal computers and fax machines. A com- puterized entry system operates on the guest's per- sonal credit card. According of Mr. Birn- baum, Sleep Inns appeal to developers and investors as well as consumers. "Because of Sleep Inns' meticulous research and planning, turnkey develop- ment costs are the lowest in the industry. This, combin- ed with the elimination of unnecessary and expensive items, ensures low cost and high profit margins." Sleep Inns will be all new prototypical construction with a fully standardized room package. A 100 room Sleep Inn can be operated and maintained by just 12 full time employees. Sleep Inns will be part of the global reservations system Of Choice Hotels Interna- tional. formerly Quality In- ternational and now the largest lodging chain in the world. TheHospitality Equity Group will build and manage 53 Sleep Inns in Ontario. Quebec. Alberta and British Columbia. The first Sleep Inn is now under construction in Brockville. Ontario and construction will begin shortly in Barrie and Burlington. These pro- perties are being capitaliz- ed through a Limited Part- nership offering. Also in- cluded in the package of- fering are Sleep Inns at Windsor and Grimsby. Each property will be located at strategic highway intersections, targeting price conscious business and leisure travellers. The Brockville property is situated on Kent Blvd., in the nor- thwest quadrant of Hwy 401 and Hwy 29 which is Stewart Blvd. In Barrie, the Sleep Inn will be located at Moison Park Drive and Hwy 400.

According to finan- cial projections contained in the Offering Memoran- dum, an investor will have an after tax cash position of $50,000 after the buyback of the hotels. The Hospitality Equity Group is so confident of its new product that the com- pany has put its full cor- porate guarantee behind its investment package. "Even in times of severe belt tightening people want and need to travel. either for business or pleasure..' Air. Birnbaum concluded. "When times are tough, travellers get very par- ticular about how and where they spend their money.

For prices and registra- tion information call -6145 Metro Council News from Ken Morrish Councillor Scarborough Highland Crook On August 17, 1990, I placed a motion before Metro Coun- cil requesting that we remove the M2 ( Bear Road Landfill) proposed dump site from the bargaining table as a tem- porary dummp site. An amendment requesting that a full en- vironmental study was made and passed, which will take about 3 to 4 years to complete. You will hear many rumours about a possible dump site, however I do believe that this one move has forced Metro to look elsewhere for an ap- propnate waste site. However, with this one small victory, another major con- cern has suddenly arisen - the need for a more visible Police presence in our community. I believe that a mistake was made when Police Division No. 42 at 4040 Lawrence Avenue East was amalgamated with Division No. 43 at 242 Milner Avenue. The idea may have been favourble at the time bas- ed on data compiled in 1983, however within the last year, the crime rate In Scarborough has increased by 8% com- pared to an increase of 3.3% in the rest of Metro Toronto as a whole. I feel that 42 Division should be re -opened at this time and a motion was brought to Metro Council to this effect on September 12, 1990, but was defeated. I have met on several occasions with Chief McCormack and his representatives to discuss this very serious problem and hope to be successful in having Station No. 42 re -opened early in the new year. I would appreciate any assistance you can offer in keeppiIng this issue before Metro Council and the Metro Police Com- mission. I support a policy of visible Policing and feel that we all have the right to live in a neighbourhood which is safe and secure. I will keep you informed of further developments on this very serious issue. On September 26, 1990, Metro Council passed a by-law to allow the Scarborough Rail Transit (S.RT.) to be further constructed along the Sheppard Avenue, east of Markham Road. Environmental approval has been requested and plans are designed to cause the least amount of public disruption and Inconvenience. Most of you know my concerns regarding next year's pro- perty taxes and the disturbing rumours about just how high they will go. When I was Budget Chief for the City of Scar- borough, our taxes never rose higher than the national rate of inflation and we were able to offer the same level of ser- vice. I am opposed to any Metro tax increase that is higher than the rate of inflation. Please feel free to give my office a call at 392-4055 if you have any questions regarding the above matters, or any other concerns you may have that I may be of assistance with. small, to locate in North cess.

[travel] Club Med 1 In Caribbean The Club Med 1 will sail in the region of the Virgin Islands and the Grenadines from Sept. 28, to May 4, 1991 with a capacity for 400 passengers, the 187 metres long sailing ship has 8 decks and a cruising speed of 11 to 14 knots. After one short year of operation, Club Med 1 has been a great success. This superb sailing ship left the port of Le Havre, France on Jan. 9, 1990 to begin its wonderful adventure in the Caribbean on Feb. 10th. Travel agencies and the North American market in general have been very ex- cited about it. The success, experienced by Club Med 1 in the Carib- bean as well as in the Mediterranean demonstrates that a n,ew type of cruise has been created. The concept of Club Med 1 and the life it of- fers on board have suc- ceeded in attracting both cruise -lovers and those who had never thought of this kind of vacation before. From Christmas 1992 on. Club Med expects to offer its Japanese customers. whose numbers are rapidly growing, a cruise ship like Club Med 1, a sister ship called Club Med 2. This ship, which will also be built by LeHavre shipyards, will offer cruises in the Pacific, departing from the French island of New Caledonia. A Caribbean Adventure from September 'L8, 19% to May 4, 1991. In response to our members' requests, Club Med 1 offers two itineraries (which can be combined) of one week's duration, from Saturday to Saturday, departing from Fort-de- France, Martinique. The Northern Route (The Virgin Islands) Ports of Call: Les Saintes. St. Barth, Virgin Gorda, Jost Van Dyke, St. Thomas, St. Kitts, and then return to Fort-de-France. The Southern Route (The Grenadines) Ports of Call: Bequia, Tobago Cays, Grenada. Barbados, Mayeiro, Sandy Island, and then return to Fort-de-France. The refined setting and relaxed atmosphere on board this uniquely design- ed ship make you feel as if you were on a private yacht. The cruise ship has com- fortable cabins (18 sq. metres) with a view of the ocean and a shallow draught (5 metres) allow- ing it to reach even the most remote inlets. You can also enjoy water sports from the sports platforms, which is lowered from the ship's stern, or the beach which is always nearby. All this makes Club Med 1 the outstanding cruise ship of the 1990's. The discreet and competent G.O. team will guarantee you a fantastic cruise in a completely new style. $2.5 Million Roller Coaster The Predator, Darien Lake Theme Park and Camping Resort's new $2.5 million wooden roller coaster, is being rated ninth in the world accor- ding to readers of "Inside Track", an international coaster enthusiast publica- tion.

In my opinion, The Predator runs like a coaster should run, fast and furious, with no brakes. There are plenty of places in a park to relax and enjoy a slow, peaceful ride. The roller coaster should not be one of those places. While some parks have taken steps that effec- tively cut down on the thrills of wooden roller coasters, Darien Lake lets The Predator run wild right from the start, and it's an excellent ride which I feel deserves its place on the chart. The readers of "Inside Track" evidently The sudden rush of new coasters has made this year's ratings more challenging. Wyatt added that Darien Lake, as well as Six Flags over Texas should be very proud that their coasters could "break in" to this year's elite group, especially during their first year of opera- tion. Only five coasters have ever accomplished this in the three years of coaster polls. According to Wyatt, a survey form is included in the June issue. Readers are asked to respond only to the questions they feel qualified to answer. The poll is unique because of the type of readers "Inside Track" appeals.

DATED at Oshawa the 22nd. day of October, 1990 JANICE AINSLEY, Executrix by her solicitors McGIBBON, BASTEDO, ARMSTRONG 8 ARMSTRONG 32 Simcoe Street South, Box 2396 Oshawa, Ontario L1H 7V6 with Rene Soetens, M.P. The Hon. Barbara McDougall, Minister of Employment and Immigration, released a statement last Thursday about immigration. At the time this article was written, however, the information contained in the Minister's state- ment was not yet available. The topic of immigration will therefore be discussed in next week's column. The week of Oct. 28 to Nov. 3 has been designated as Canada Career Week - a week which provides young people with an opportunity to learn about the many opttoris available to them and to take the proper steps to rind a rewarding and suitable career. This year, the theme is "Start to Finish - Be cool .. Finish School". The emphasis is on the student completing whatever stage of education he or she has started, completing it means finishing High school or at least the school year. Then, the individual can continue with the next stage at a later time, in a career direction he or she chooses. Canada Career Week 1990 is also part of a national Stay - in -School initiative co-ordinated by the Minister of State for Youth. As you probably know. Canada has a high school dropout rate of 30 percent. Stay -in -School was designed to raise awareness among business people, educators and young people themselves on the serious consequences of dropping out to the individual, and to our economy as a whole. By forging new partnerships ands ng the ties bet- ween education and work, Stay�irrl tropes to help reverse the dropout trend in Canada. Canada Career Week is also an opportunity for Employ- ment and Immigration Canada (EIC) to highlight the career planning resources, programs and services available throughits 471 Canada Employment Centres (CECs) ac Canada. During Canada Career Week, CECs will be emphasising their programs and services in an ef- fort to reach students and those who are having difficulty in et g ting or a ' Interest in Canada Career Week is continuously growing. In addition to CECs. numerous schools and community organizations are organizing events ranging from career fairs to conferences. A high school dropout's career options are always limited, and will become more so in tete coming decade, when almost two thirds of all new jobs will. require at least 12 years of education and training. I encourage the educators, students and families of Ontario riding to take full advantage of Canada Career Week, in order to help secure a place for our youth in the increasingly competitive times ahead- .. ....... •.1•. .. ... {1:.. ... .. ..............................
