Young people looking for a job this summer can now visit the youth employment centre in Fort Frances.

The Service Canada Centre for Youth is located at 301 Scott Street.

Youth services officer Dayna DeBenedet says there are a few jobs already posted.

"We've also started to contact a lot of businesses and camps," says DeBenedet. "So jobs are starting to pick up in the northwestern region. We're just hoping that throughout this next week, it's our Hire-a-Youth week nationally, a lot more job posts will come as businesses become more aware of our services."

Debenendt says staff will also be visiting area businesses this week with potted plants as part of their "Hire-a-Youth - Help the Economy Grow" campaign.
