Richmond – Service Canada Youth Fair

15th July - Submitted by Alice Wong MP Staff

Richmond, BC – The Richmond Service Canada Centre for Youth (SCCY) hosted a Youth Fair on July 14, 2010. The Youth Fair took place at Lansdowne Shopping Centre in Richmond, BC.

The Honourable Alice Wong, Parliamentary Secretary for Multiculturalism and Member of Parliament for Richmond, welcomed employers and youth to the Youth Fair.

“Employment empowers our youth with a strong work ethic and provides valuable job experience for their future careers”, said Alice Wong, MP of Richmond. Wong continued, “I am happy to support the Youth Fair and the promotion of valuable skills in young people to help them find employment.”

The SCCY Youth Fair allowed local youth to connect with employers, community organizations and post secondary institutions. Youth also had the chance to interact with their peers and learn about Government of Canada programs and services, wage rates and health and safety in the workplace.

“The Youth Fair provided youth with valuable information and networking opportunities” said Gigi Yu, Youth Services Officer. “The presence of entertainers and guest speakers made the event enjoyable and attracted many bystanders to take part in the event”.

Service Canada Centres for Youth link youth and employers. The Centres provide young people with job postings, interview advice, résumé building and job search strategies and employers with a location to post job openings. SCCYs also provide valuable information on health and safety in the workplace.

Employers interested in using our services and youth looking for summer employment can visit the Richmond SCCY between 8:30 am – 4:00 pm at #350-5611 Cooney Road, Richmond, BC, call 604-273-6431 ext.222, fax 604-666-3367, or e-mail julisse.lecca@servicecanada.gc.ca.
