Ottawa, ON – Recently, the Rt. Honourable Stephen Harper, Prime Minister of Canada, announced that the Canada Apprentice Loan initiative is now open for business and is accepting applications.
The Canada Apprentice Loan, as introduced in the 2014 Federal Budget, will provide apprentices in Red Seal trades across Canada with access to interest-free loans. These loans will help apprentices address the costs they encounter during technical training, including educational fees, tools and equipment, living expenses and forgone wages. Apprentices will be able to apply for loans of up to $4,000 per period of technical training. These loans will be interest-free until after loan recipients complete or leave their apprenticeship training program for a maximum of 6 years.
CHATSWORTH – Grey County OPP has investigated 13 motor-vehicle collisions between 5:30 a.m. on Monday, January 5th and 1:30 p.m. on Tuesday, January 6th, 2015. Of those collisions, five were as a result of the driver losing control of the vehicle and going into the ditch.
With the election of new municipal councils across the Bruce-Grey-Owen Sound riding and a federal election in the air, and winter now upon us, it's time to revisit an issue that is just not going to go away — the nature of work in Ontario and Grey Bruce.
We'll be talking about precarious work — low wage, often part time or temporary work — the kind that won't get you to the end of the month. The kind that makes you rely on food banks and utility funds at the United Way.
ORILLIA – During the OPP Festive RIDE campaign from November 24, 2014 to January 2, 2015, OPP officers laid 593 impaired charges and issued 485 Warn Range suspensions. Sadly, one person died in an impaired-related collision on December 20, 2014.
When comparing the numbers to last year, the OPP is disappointed to see little change between this season's campaign and the last one. During the 2013-2014 Festive RIDE campaign, the OPP laid 587 impaired charges and issued 504 Warn Range suspensions. Three people lost their lives in impaired-related road crashes over the 2013-2014 campaign.
With the addition of a power door to his office, local MPP Bill Walker has made his constituency office in Owen Sound a fully accessible space for people with mobility issues. The office building at 920 1st Avenue West already included a ramp and an elevator. The automated door brings the member's office into compliance with the provincial building code and the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act.
