The Kenora Army Reserve is looking for new recruits.

Bombardier Lynne Danielson, a recruitment officer with the reserve, says it's a great part time job for students.

"It's not mandatory for us to deploy reserves overseas in times of combat," says Danielson, "It's for people 16 years and over, fifteen high school credit. In the summer they go away for training. When they are members of the unit for a year, and they return to post secondary education, we will contribute $2,000 toward their tuition."

Danielson says the military offers solid employment, and is a good fit for those who have been laid off from forestry related jobs.
