Odd Job Week

It's Odd Job Week across Canada

The week promotes Service Canada's Youth Employment Centre and encourages local businesses and residents to consider hiring a youth even for just a few hours.

Local Youth Services Officer Dayna Debendet says no job can be too small.

"They can be some like housework, yard work, landscaping or babysitting," says Debenedet. "You file your job with us and we'll send it out to students and see who's interested."

Debenedet says they be promoting the importance of odd jobs for students through booths at Canadian Tire today and Walmart on Wednesday with leaflets being distributed around the community.

There will also be a BBQ Friday with NCDS.
