8 ·The IFP· Halton Hills Business Times ·Tuesday, July 24, 2012 Job search help is now available at Acton Library Acton residents can now find help with their job search at Acton Library. Employment advisors are now at the library Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and are available to help people by appointment with job searching, resumes, cover letters, interviews and more. "This is just one more example of the essential services that our library provides in the community. We stepped up," said Halton Hills Mayor Rick Bonnette. "At a time when our economy is struggling, it is vital for us to work with our local partners to provide these types of services for those looking for employment." The Centre and the Library have been partners in providing employment services in the Georgetown Branch since 2007. With the recent changes in jurisdiction, The Centre will be providing employment service assistance to Acton residents. The Library's Internet workstations, laptops, wifi and employment resource collection will help the Centre's staff and clients with their job searching needs. "The Centre is proud to partner with the library to help job-seekers get on a path to career success," said Kathy Mills, Chief Administrative Officer at The Centre. "Thanks to our strong relationship with the Library, job-seekers in Acton can get the support and resources they need, right in their own community." "More than ever, our library is needed by the unemployed and underemployed," said Jane Diamanti, Director of Library Services. "We are excited to further our partnership with The Centre for Skills Development & Training in this way." Centre staff will work with clients to help them define their employment goals and create a career plan, and to develop their resume, interview and job-searching skills. These Employment Ontario services are funded in part by the Government of Canada."

The run was in aid of Start2Finish, a program to break the cycle of child poverty by providing ongoing educational support to Canada's at risk children throughout their school years, nurturing mind, body and social health so they are empowered to succeed and become role models for change. Right: The 9th annual Spring Into Motion 5km Run/Walk and 1km Kids Fun Run, held in April, was another great success, raising funds for the local Halton Hills Chapter of Canadian Tire Jumpstart.

Spring Into Motion brings together runners of all ages and abilities.
