NCDS Expands

A new program forcing Northern Community Development Services in Fort Frances to expand locations.

Coordinator Cathy Emes says the Workforce Literacy and Essential Skills program is aimed at helping people better improve their literacy skills.

"International Literacy has developed this system where there's five levels of literacy," says Emes. "Everybody who comes to our organization will be tested and we will work with them on the areas they need help in."

NCDS is hiring four additional employees to deliver the program at a new office at 242 Scott Street beginning in early April.
