It's estimated that Lowe's stores in Oshawa, Pickering and Whitby, along with Rona in Uxbridge, will fill 130 full- and part-time positions during a province-wide hiring blitz March 10 to 12. Available positions include receiving clerk, sales associate and night crew member as well as administrative support and merchandising roles. Lowe's Canada is aiming to hire more than 1,900 full- and part-time positions across Ontario through its hiring event. The company anticipates hiring 45 new people at its Lowe's locations in Oshawa and Whitby and another 32 new employees for its Pickering store. Ten new people are expected to be hired at the Uxbridge Rona location. "With the home improvement growth we have seen over the past two years, our network offers much more than just a job; it offers the perfect learning ground for anyone who wants to develop their skills and grow," said Marc Macdonald, senior vice- president, human resources, in a press release. "Whether it's for laying the groundwork for a career filled with development opportunities or for a summer job to get hands-on home improvement experience, our store network offers Canadians looking for work an ideal environment to build a solid foundation for the future." Lowe's Canada will hold a hybrid hiring event using an online platform -- https://jobs.lowescanada.ca/ -- developed especially for the organization. Those who would like to conduct an in-person interview may use the platform to book a time slot in advance or simply drop by the Lowe's or Rona corporate store of their choosing between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. on March 10, 11 or 12. The platform will also allow those who would prefer to go through the virtual route to conduct live video interviews from their own home or, for those who would be unable to connect during the time frame of the event, to pre-record their first interview at the time and place that is most convenient for them.

Lowe's Canada photo The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has prompted organizers of the annual Purple Woods Maple Syrup Festival to tweak the 2022 edition of their event. The traditional festival will be replaced this year by a modest and free self-guided hike through the sugar bush at Purple Woods Conservation Area, located on the Scugog-Oshawa border. Participants will have access to the trails, which will feature signage describing how sap is transformed into maple syrup. There will also be access to a non-flushing public washroom. Due to COVID-19, there will be no access to buildings, no food services, no children's activities and games and no horse-and-wagon rides. However, maple syrup and products will be available at the Purple Woods Heritage Hall store window between 10 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. on the dates the walking tours are held. The Purple Woods online store will be closed from March 1 to April 4. The hikes are free; however, registration on a first come, first served basis is required. Registration opened on March 1; no group bookings will be accepted, but families of up to 10 -- including children -- can be accommodated. The self-guided hikes will be offered from March 16 to 20, March 20 to 27 and April 2 and 3, from 10 a.m. to noon or 1 to 3 p.m. For any accessibility accommodations, please email ystorm@cloca.com at least 48 hours prior to your arrival. Purple Woods Conservation Area is located at 38 Coates Rd. E. For more information, visit www.cloca.com, call 905-579-0411 or email mail@cloca.com.
