Do you like to care for others?  Do you have an interest in working in the health care field?  Tri-County Literacy Council is offering a free 5-week program: Health Care Support Worker. In Canada, the population is aging and the need for more support for sick and disabled individuals is increasing. There are more and more Health Care Support Worker jobs. Assisting with bedside and personal care, planning and preparing meals, helping with light housework, and spending time talking to clients are typical duties of a Health Care Support Worker. Participants will have the opportunity to learn about the duties of a Health Care Support Worker, meet people working in the field and participate in a site visit to a health care facility.

This program can serve as a career exploration opportunity for those wishing to be self-employed or those wishing to further their education as a Personal Support Worker.

Class will run Monday to Thursday, 9 am to 12 pm, for 5 weeks, starting October 15, 2018.  For more information or to register, call Tri-County Literacy Council at 613-932-7161.

5pm until Midnight at Lombardy Hall. Tickets $30 includes buffet dinner at 6:30pm + silent auction, live auction, raffles and door prizes! Live music with Little Chicago and country star Arlene Quinn. Tickets available at Beautiful Full Figure Boutique, 7 Russell St. E., Smiths Falls or email websterjenn@hotmail.com
