Page 12, Terrace Bay-Schreiber News, Wednesday, November 2, 1983 NORTHERN AFFAIRS - Government of Canada Job Creation Programme by JANE E. GREER . This year the new short term counter cycli- cal programme recently announced by the Minis- ter of Employment and Immigration is called Canada Works. It is a consolidation of former programmes which in- clude: NEED, U.I. Job Creation (Section 38) Canada Community De- velopment Programme and Summer Canada Projects. The primary ob- jective of Canada Works is to create increment- al, productive term em- ployment for unemploy- ed persons. This year, there exists some major differences between Ca- nada Works and some of the previous Employ- ment Development pro- grammes. Although or- ganizations, businesses, individuals and federal, provincial, municipal government continue to be eligible applicants under Canada Works, the programme ppriori- ties are activities which will: (a) promote economic recovery and long-range development in the Pri- vate Sector; (b) result in incre- mental continuing em- ployment; (c) contribute to the improvement of com- munity assets or ser- vices; (d) not create a de- pendency upon the ter- mination of programme funding. Proposals will be en- couraged from the pri- vate sector which can create new employment in activities other than 'the regular ongoing pro- ductions. In addition, those private sector pro- jects which support eco- nomic recovery, long- range regional develop- ment or improve produc- tivity will be a priority under Canada Works. Criteria against which applications from all ap- plicants, including or- ganizations, business and individuals will be assessed, include - the following: (1) competent man- agement; (2) provision for 3 or more full time jobs; (3) necessary super- vision for participants; (4) the creation of new jobs which are in addi- tion to the employment planned; (5) tasks which will not duplicate or compete with existing services or Workshop attacks Family Violence If you are ~working with cases of wife bat- tering, child abuse and neglect, or maltreat- ment of the elderly, you may want to attend a workshop which will fea- ture 16 new National Film Board of Canada films. This workshop would be of interest to professionals (social workers, nurses, thera- pists, teachers, physic- ians, lawyers), social and government agen- cies, community groups, law enforcement agen- cies and others concern- ed about family violen- . Ce. Reports indicate vio- lence. between family members is on the in- crease and there is con- cern that a downturn in the economy and the changing roles of wom- en will create greater: pressures on families. In a society where televi- sion and films depict violence as an answer to problems, mounting frustration can lead to abuse of the more vul- nerably members of the family -- women, child- ren and the elderly. In Canada during the period 1969 to 1975, S1 per cent of all murders were committed against intimates or people liv- ing in the same house- hold and 16 per cent of these were spouse slay- ings. A 1980 study by Linda MacLeod for the Canadian Advisory Council on the Status of Women estimated that one out of every ten women is battered by the man she lives with. The workshop will consist in part of show- ing some of the films and presenting further information on the topic. It is being sponsored by the NFB and by the National Clearinghouse on Family Violence, a program of the Social Services Branch, Health and Welfare Canada, whose mandate is to consultation services to . professionals and. the general public on the topics of (1) Child Abuse, (2) Wife Assault and (3) Abuse of the Elderly. The Family Violence Film Library was started in 1977 with only five films. were shown across Ca- nada reaching an esti- mated audience of 1.5 million through close to 11,000 bookings in the following five years. The NFB has set a target of 4.5 million Canadians for its films now on free loan from public li- braries in Northwestern Ontario. Admission is free to the workshop which will be held at Marathon Recreation Centre, 7 p-m. on November 17, 1983. help your Heart Fund provide information and _ The five films. displace work normally performed by volun- teers; (6) the extent to which the job can be filled by women, youth and per- sons with a disability; (7) the level of the activity within program- me priorities. The eligible em- ployees of Canada Works must be legally entitled to work in Ca- nada, be unemployed and referred by the Ca- nada Employment Cen- tres. Priority will be given to those persons unemployed for eight (8) weeks or more. Within this group, preference will be given to those persons who have run out of Unemployment Insurance benefit en- titlement or who are on social assistance, then laid off workers who are in receipt of Unemploy- ment Insurance Benefits and then to other unem- ployed persons.
