The province has opened the application process for non-profits, municipal governments, and northern affairs community councils that are looking for grants to help them hire young people for summer employment.
The grants, which are under the provincial urban and hometown green team program, are for these types of organizations that are looking to hire anyone between the ages of 15 and 29.
Projects can include working on trails, field maintenance, summer camps, and recreation activities, with the employment period being from May until September.
March 4th is the deadline for applications, with grants from the program covering 100 per cent of wages for non-profit organizations, along with $250 per position.
For municipalities and Northern Affairs community councils, 50 per cent of wages are covered along with $125 per position.
