Job opportunity updates for York Centre Residents

In an effort to aprise the residents of Ward 5 (York Centre) with job opportunities, I bring to your attention openings at Queen's Park and Toronto Police Services.

The 2009 Queen's Park Summer Internship Program is now accepting resumes from
interested students who wish to be involved in the political process and
work in government. The program seeks highly motivated, energetic and
dedicated students who are looking to exercise and develop their skills
in organization, communication, leadership and research.


Interns will be placed in the Premier's Office, Ministers' Offices and
the Liberal Caucus Service Bureau. Assignments may expose interns to
the areas of communications, policy, research, and data base. Interns
will also participate in a variety of activities that will strengthen
their leadership and team building skills.


The internship program runs from May 4th until August 21st at Queen's
Park. All participants should be available for the entire length of the
program.

The salary is $12.50 - $15.00 per hour based on a 35 hour work week.
