CHILLIWACK — Chilliwack MP Mark Strahl is encouraging Chilliwack and Hope employers to apply for funding to hire young Canadians next year through the 2024 Canada Summer Jobs (CSJ) program.

Strahl’s office made the announcement Monday morning (Dec. 4).

“I encourage not-for-profit organizations, public-sector employers and small businesses in our community to apply for funding through the Canada Summer Jobs program,” stated MP Strahl. “Both local employers and local students have benefited from this program in the past and there are more applications to participate in it every year.”
