Service Canada's Employment Centre for Youth's season is coming to a close.

The Fort Frances office ends its season Friday.

Youth Services Officer Jamie Petrin says despite a tough economy, they were able to find work for a number students this summer.

" It was really, really awesome this summer," says Petrin. "We had a really successful summer this season. (We) met lots of people. Got lots of jobs posted. Talked to lots of students and employers."

Petrin says until its closing, the office will also be providing information on loans and grants for students returning to school this fall.
