Saskatchewan's premier is leading a contingent of politicians visiting Ontario in an attempt to woo recent grads to the Prairie province. Premier Brad Wall is targeting university and college graduates, offering up to $20,000 in tuition rebates to move to Saskatchewan.
Advanced Education Minister Rob Norris says the government wants to show it's serious about recruiting workers because the province has more than 6,200 unfilled jobs. Wall attended a business community luncheon Tuesday and a job fair on Wednesday.
It's the second time in six months that politicians from Saskatchewan have brought their pitch to southern Ontario. In September, Wall targeted workers in Ontario's battered manufacturing sector.
