from RST (Retail Sales Tax) all transient accommodation and admissions
to places of amusement throughout the Province of Ontario provided after
April 30, 2003 and before October 1, 2003. Please phone 1-877-482-9329

Care at 705-324-7323 or 1-800-461-0327.
WORK SHARING AVAILABLE:
If you have local businesses facing cutbacks in staff as a result of the
impact of SARS, Human Resources Development Canada's (HRDC) Work Sharing
program may provide a short term solution. Work Sharing is a program that
enables businesses to face cutbacks and still avoid layoffs by shortening
the work week and paying reduced wages accordingly. HRDC arranges for
Employment Insurance eligible workers to draw benefits, to help compensate
for the lower wages received. More information can be obtained by going
to the HRC website www18.hrdc-drhc.gc.ca/programs/work
sharing/desc.asp, calling toll free at 1-800-263-8364 or the Lindsay office
at (705) 324-3562.
NEXT CHAMBER UPDATE:
June 13th. If you wish to place an ad or if you have any information to
contribute, please call Tara at 738-2202 by noon on June 10th.
