La Semaine Nationale de Prévention de la Noyade (SNPN) se déroulera du 15 au 22 juillet 2018. La SNPN a pour but de sensibiliser la population aux comportements sécuritaires à adopter lors d’activités aquatiques ou nautiques. Le choix de ces dates n’est certes pas un hasard, car cette période est particulièrement touchée en termes de nombre d’incidents reliés à l’eau. Encore cet été, pour souligner cet événement, les sauveteurs de la Corporation aquatique maskoutaine vont se mobiliser pour vous faire vivre une semaine remplie d’activités divertissantes et enrichissantes. En effet, durant ces journées, il y aura des activités spéciales portant sur des thèmes précis de la Société de sauvetage. On compte donc sur votre participation pour venir encourager, prendre l’information et poser des questions aux sauveteurs afin de vous assurer de passer un été sécuritaire et plaisant en milieu aquatique.
Ne manquez pas également une course de Pédalo-corpo qui aura lieu à la piscine Laurier le mercredi 18 juillet dès 13h et qui regroupera une centaine de jeunes des différents camps de jour de la ville.
De plus, deux événements contribueront directement et entièrement au Fonds Simon-Pierre de la Société de sauvetage :
ZUMBATHON
Mardi, 17 juillet
Piscine Notre-Dame (CAD en cas de pluie)
16 h à 18 h
NAGE-O-THON
Jeudi, 19 juillet
Piscine Douville
10 h à 12 h Tous : 5 $
12 h à 18 h Tous : contribution volontaire
Le Fonds Simon-Pierre vient en aide aux victimes de traumatismes associés à l'eau ainsi qu’à leurs proches par le biais de thérapies, d'accessibilité aux professionnels de la santé; par du support médical ou financier. Une partie de ce programme d’aide est aussi investie dans la recherche et le développement, dans les campagnes d’éducation et dans la recherche de victimes portées disparues.
Enfin, pour clore la SNPN, le 22 juillet un jeu gonflable sera sur le site de la piscine Laurier. Cette journée d’activités est la première d’une série de quatre dimanches où l’ambiance de fête saura plaire aux petits et grands. Animation gratuite en début d’après-midi ; venez en grand nombre !

Employers are hiring in Chatham-Kent and we’re here to help! The Municipality of Chatham-Kent’s Employment Resource Centres in partnership with the Chatham-Kent Workforce Planning Board are inviting employers to participate in the second annual CK Works! community job fair on Tuesday, October 23 from 2-7pm at the John D Bradley Centre.
This event arose out of a need identified from data obtained by the Chatham-Kent Workforce Planning Board in their annual EmployerOne survey, a local labour market survey funded through the Ministry of Advanced Education and Skills Development.
“This survey helps us and our community partners take action to support the local business community. This job fair is one example of the survey results in action,” advises Project Manager, Kristy Jacobs. Over 285 employers completed the survey in January of this year outlining their recruitment and retention needs.
The Municipality’s Resident Attraction and Retention team, Employment and Social Services, Economic Development Services, as well as community partners will be promoting the event to job seekers and graduates in the region and employers within Chatham-Kent in the coming months.
“This year, we are expanding the event to allow more employers to join us and benefit from the job fair approach. Further, representatives from the education sector will be on hand to provide information on upgrading and certification options to promote life long learning to those in attendance”.
Spaces are limited and will be filled on a first come, first serve basis. Tables are available at the cost of $50.00. The online registration for employers can be found at: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/CKWORKS2018. For more information, please call 519.436.3299 to speak with Rory Sweeting, or email CKWorkforce@chatham-kent.ca.
Employer registration closes Friday, September 28, 2018 at 4:30 pm.
The CKWPB is committed to ongoing research to enhance local labour market planning in the Chatham-Kent region. To learn more about the Chatham-Kent Workforce Planning Board and its activities in Chatham-Kent, please visit our website at ckworkforcedev.com.
