Tony Carlson argues the sweatshop era is over and debunks the belief that small firms underpay workers. He contends firms generally pay fair wages and that the myth persists in public perception despite solid evidence to the contrary.
A CFIB survey of thousands of Canadian small firms shows the main wage factors are ability to pay and the need for a living wage. Over 70 percent rate living wage as high or medium importance, with smaller firms stressing it more. Firms with under 10 employees cite it as first or second most important versus 18.5 percent of firms over 99 employees.
The passage argues most full-time staff are paid above minimum wage and only a small share of part timers are near the minimum. It notes few small firms cite minimum wage as key in setting rates, contending the era of the small business sweatshop is a thing of the past.
Authorities urge motorists to stop for flashing school bus lights when discharging children on highways. Drivers must exercise extreme caution especially with oncoming traffic. Children should cross carefully. The aim is to maintain a fatality free record.
Brandon Hospital seeks support from smaller centres to win a Cat Scanner unit. The Roblin Health Centre Board backs Brandon's bid and urges regional hospitals to back the plan. Roblin administrator Clint Clearwater says the unit would help patients if located in Brandon. A Cat Scanner Unit detects cancer in its early stages.
The event featured age group contests for preschoolers to 12 year olds with winners including Sara Yakimishyn and Shawn Chase. Posters by Grade 1 to 5 were displayed in the hall. Prizes from local merchants were drawn for and proceeds of the fair totaled 2600 dollars for the Ladies Hospital Auxiliary.
In Brandon and Roblin areas, early care boosts outcomes yet remains costly. A Brandon scanner would ease access versus Winnipeg trips, with time and price factors pressing appointments. Bonds note: Series 28 and 31 end of an era with cash bonuses and interim offers. Series 33 marks new style with compound interest worth $2305.86 per $1600.
Three Canada Savings Bond issues are coming due this year, totaling more than 3.3 billion in principal. Series 28 issued in 1973, Series 31 issued in 1976, and Series 33 issued in 1978 all mature this year, prompting holders to check safety deposit boxes for these investments.
