Labour Day Parade to be lead by ex-PMP employees

In recognition of our efforts through past two months all ex-PMP workers have been invited to lead Labour Day Parade!

On Monday 1st-Sep-2008 at 9AM, Labour Day Parade will leave from Queen & University intersection in downtown Toronto. All ex-PMP workers are invited to join with their families. The parade will end around 11AM at CNE, where free entrance to National Exhibition will be granted to everyone wearing a wrist band from the parade.

Action Center coming up soon

Starting in September the new Action Center will open its doors for all ex-PMP employees and their families. The Center is going to be run by ex-PMP employees volonteering as Peer Helpers.

The most important goals of the center are:
- to provide support to those searching for jobs (this will be done in various ways, the team will be contacting companies and asking for them to post their job openings at our Center, professionals will be called in to conduct Job Search Worskhop, Resume Writing Workshop etc.)
- to provide individual needs assessment for re-training that will lead to re-employment
- to provide training (education for new career)

The center will most likely be located at 2180 Steels Ave W, unit #3, which is at north east corner of Steels & Keele.

Whoever is willing to help run the center is welcome to join . The next training session for Peer Helpers will be conducted in September, after the Center opens its doors.
