Is something simple yet out of reach holding you back from gaining full-time employment, or completing your education?
No matter your industry, experience or the stage of your pursuit there are services available to help you gain employment or education.
The CRMC recently met with Jane Freymond Employment Developer for MNO servicing the GTA.
Jane and Alicia (Education Officer) work to support individuals to gain employment and education. The service offers a number of practical supports to remove obstacles to full-time employment.
The program can subsidize many things in order to help individuals gain education and employment. Assistance can include wage subsidies and help with a wide range of on the job essentials (certifications and qualifications, boots, tools, etc). The service can help those looking to gain full-time employment or complete post-secondary studies. University and College students may be eligible for financial support with tuition, books, and living expenses.
The requirements for eligibility to this program are that the applicant is a self-identifying Metis and lives in Ontario. Proof of MNO citizenship is not required. Beyond that each application is processed on its own merits. Jane and Alisha are available to assist in the application process.

Community Garden
Now in its sixth year, the community garden located in Brampton has been one of CRMC’s most successful projects. Run entirely on volunteer contributions, in 2016 Council was able to donate almost 500 lbs of healthy produce to various community agencies.
If you are a community member or agency that serves our community members, and you are in need of fresh produce donations, Credit River Metis Council would be glad to help. For more information, or to volunteer, please contact the Council's Community Outreach Coordinator at crmcoutreach@gmail.com Credit River Metis Council gratefully acknowledges its supporters for the community garden project, including MNO Healing and Wellness, the City of Brampton, Ontario Trillium Foundation, and the Region of Peel. |
