Student Manpower opens Canada Centre in Georgetown
The Canada Manpower Centre began its student program at Georgetown on James Street with Mary Vieira of Brampton in charge. She will visit Georgetown Fridays while remaining in Brampton through the week. Vieira notes jobs pay about 38 a hour but may differ from expectations. Norm Grant credits good publicity for early momentum, says counseling gaps leave students with unrealistic employer expectations, and cites slow uptake of Ontario Youth Employment Program.

Ontario Energy Minister to Meet ICG Over Expropriation Case
Ontario Energy Minister James Taylor prepared to meet with officials of the Interested Citizens Group after his ministry reviews a nascent judgment. The Ontario Court of Appeals may reshape expropriation hearings by allowing alternative routings for the Bradley to Georgetown hydro corridor, with implications beyond the Bradley Junction to Milton line. No date has been set to resume Acton expropriation hearings.
