FedNor Youth Employment Funding$54,250 of funding from FedNor is going towards local youth employment.

MP Anthony Rota announced the funding will go to WipWare and the North Bay & District Multicultural Centre.

This funding will then be used to hire two youth interns for one year.

Rota says this will not only help the youth gain experience in the industry, but the company also gets help moving forward.

Deborah Robertson is the executive director of the North Bay & District Multicultural Centre and she says this is one way to help deal with youth out-migration.

She says it’s also important to increase the capacity of industry in the area and keep an open door when looking at who to hire.

Robertson says this new intern will help the Multicultural Centre modify and increase the number of programs, be more innovative and come up with new ideas
