Indians Launch Summer Job Program For Indian Youths
The Honourable Jean Chretien announced a Canada wide summer employment program run by Indians operating the project. It will create over 800 jobs on reserves for Indian high school students, hiring on community recreation, administration, maintenance, and related tasks with pay set at federal minimum wage and potential increases. Regional coordinators will be recruited from universities to manage field work as homesite preference is given to students living on their reserves. Funds allocated by region depend on local Indian enrollment and the program aims to expose students to administration and reserve life, with hopes for expansion next summer.
