Selkirk Journal (Newspaper) - May 9, 1994, Selkirk, Manitoba Monday. May 9,1994 THE SELKIRK JOURNAL 33 Green Team return equals job and benefits The Manitoba government is putting $2.2 million into an expanded Greem Team program which is expected to create jobs for over 700 young people. In the past the program has employed young people in provincial parks. A new ‘Hometown’ component, with municipal assistance will expand the program into rural communities. “Our area has already seen the benefits of this program in our many provincial parks,” said Gimli MLA Ed Helwer. “I'm sure the new aspect of the program this year will help to make improvements in our communities as well as our parks.” The Green Team program, which falls under the Rural Economic Development Initiative, provides im-provements and enhancements of public works and may include conservation, maintenance, marketing and promotion. “Many young Manitobans will benefit from the work experience, development of job skills and the opportunity to earn money for tuition,” Helwer said. Young adults between the ages of 16-24 are eligible for up to eight weeks of work at an average of $6.35 an hour.
