Ontario’s  Rural Summer Jobs Service program will contribute $2.00 per hour for a maximum of 560 hours to hire students ages 14-24 during the period of April 1 and September 30, 2010. Applicants must be an Ontario business or community group located in an area with a population of 100,000 or less. The maximum number of students that can be subsidized under this program varies with the quantity of applicants, and employer location. Applicants should apply early as the funding budget is limited. Please note that applicants cannot receive additional funding from other government programs to subsidize the same student.

The deadline for applications is April 16, 2010.
