( Page 8 The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanvillc, October 22,1997 Section Two Orono Firm wins Intern Through Royal Bank's Career Edge Program Ell-Rod Holdings Inc. of Orono, Ontario, has won an intern through Royal Bank and the Career Edge program. Royal Bank, one of the co-founders and sponsors of Career Edge, held a draw at their Highway 2 and Liverpool location on October 7, 1997, to see which one of 15 of their business clients would have a bright, young, enthusiastic graduate working with them for a year - completely free of charge. Career Edge is a not-for-profit organization co-found- cd by Royal Bank in 1996 to help young Canadian graduates graduates beat the "no experience, no job/no job, no experience" experience" cycle by doing internships in companies for up to 12 months. The bank has taken a unique approach to Career Edge. Instead of placing the interns within Royal Bank Financial Group as other sponsors do, they're offering some of their business clients - a total of 125 a year across Canada - the opportunity to hire a graduate for six, nine or 12 months absolutely free of charge. The bank picks up the entire $18,000 in costs. Their small to medium-sized medium-sized clients are glad of the extra help and the graduates graduates gain valuable, practical on-the-job training. To date, 84 per cent of the interns have found permanent employment, employment, either with their host companies or other organizations. organizations. The bank's total Career Edge commitment over a three-year period is $3.5 million. The bank chooses small and medium-sized companies as hosts because interns are more likely to gain the experience experience they need through exposure to a broader range of tasks. Small enterprises arc also the driving force behind job creation and economic growth, and they benefit most from the contribution of young interns. Graduates register for Career Edge through the program's program's web site (www.carceredgc.org). Once a host company company has been identified, it applies directly to Career Edge and the internship opportunity is posted on the web site. Graduates then make application for an internship that interests them directly to the host company and a selection is then made in the usual way. Sandy Smith is secretary-treasurer of Ell-Rod Holdings Inc. and very enthusiastic about his company's opportunity. "We're thrilled to have won the draw," he said, "and think it's a great program. It gives young people people a good start and we will certainly benefit from the extra help. We haven't yet decided what our intern will be doing, but we'll make sure that they get the experience they need". "My McDonald's // The Wilson family of Bowmanvillc really digs McDonald's!

Bowmanville ©j.p. Will there be quality health care when you need it? All of us in Ontario are concerned about the future of our health care. What we really want to know is, if I get sick, will there be a health care system in place to look after me and my family? And where and how will we get that care? The Hospitals of Ontario are working hard to do what we have always done: deliver high quality health care. Today, new discoveries, new drugs and new technologies mean we can deliver care in many different ways. What used to mean a two-week hospital stay now takes just one or two days. And many treatments can now be provided outside of hospitals. So the Hospitals of Ontario are developing new ways of providing health care and building partnerships to provide care in the community. And we believe we can maintain the quality of health care on one crucial condition: that we don't move too far, too fast. Community services must be in place so you can continue to receive the care you need. The Hospitals of Ontario know what it means to make changes. We've been leaders of change for years. But change that moves too quickly without making sure every piece of the puzzle is in place is not the answer. And above all, we want to make sure your health care system is there for you when you need it. Want to know more about how hospitals arc changing?
