The Youth Summer Employment Program provides wage subsidies to businesses across the province so that they can hire Indigenous students.  This program has been running since the Band’s formation in 2011 and has infused more than 1.5 million dollars into small businesses and the provincial economy.

Each year, a call-out is made inviting businesses to apply for the program.   While we would love to be able to accommodate all those who apply, we are limited by funding availability.  This year, we are pleased to announce wage subsidies for 41 businesses.
