Rebuilding After the Inferno: New Opportunities Emerge

In a bold move to aid recovery efforts following the devastating wildfires in August, the provincial government is reactivating the Job Creation Partnerships program. This initiative is set to breathe new life into the Conception Bay North Shore, providing crucial support where it's needed most.

Calling All Community Organizations!

The program is now open for applications from community-based, not-for-profit organizations eager to create valuable work experiences for individuals eligible for Employment Insurance. This is not just about jobs—it’s about rebuilding a community from the ashes!

Diverse Projects on the Horizon

Eligible organizations can propose a wide range of initiatives. These include community clean-up efforts, restoring damaged infrastructure, boosting local economic revival, and even planning fire prevention strategies. Each project aims to not only support immediate recovery but also enhance community resilience for the future.

Join the Recovery Movement!

This is a call to action for local groups! By stepping forward with proposals, these organizations can play a pivotal role in transforming the Conception Bay North Shore and ensuring its safety against future disasters.
