Government Expands Workfare Into Private Sector Opportunities Minister of Community and Social Services Janet Eckcr announced December 17 that Ontario Works is being expanded into the private sector to create more opportunities for people on welfare to get into the workforce. "Ontario's economy is Community Foundation Announces Grants for Charities The Community Foundation of Durham Region has allocated funds to seven charities: Belhesda House, Durham Alternative ' Ski Association, Durham Region Community Care Association - Brock, Kinark Child and Family Services, Sunrise Youth Group. The funds will support program related activities varying from purchase of equipment . to project development. "The Community Foundation of Durham Region is very proud to help the community in this way," said Wendy Orton, Executive Director. "We looked at funding charities from a variety of sectors representing all geographic geographic areas of Durham Region. We know donors want to help in their own communities and with these grants, donors see their dollars at work." Founded in 1994, The Community Foundation of Durham Region offers donors the opportunity to help their community through contributions that are permanent. The gifts are held in perpetuity and the interest generated is allocated to grants. For information about the Foundation, call 905-626- 6565 or 1-888-230-0333. booming and we are helping helping people on welfare take advantage of the more than 461,000 new jobs created in this province since September 1995," said Minister Eckcr. "People on welfare have asked us to create more opportunities for them to become job- ready and it makes sense to look to the private sector because that's where new jobs are being created." Under the current Ontario Works program, a person is matched with available jobs when he or she is job-ready. However, some people on welfare may need additional help. Under this new initiative, an eligible person on welfare welfare will receive up to six months of specific on-the- job training for that particular particular job. This will act as a stepping stone for the person, person, to ensure that he or she develops the skills required to keep that job. The individual will be hired directly onto the employer's payroll. Employers participating in the program will receive financial incentives to offset offset the costs of training and additional supervision of the participant.

Sculpture by David Ruben Piqtoukun On Display In Oshawa January 14 Inuii Artist's Work Straddles Two Worlds David Ruben Piqtoukun, raised in migratory Arctic hunting camps and now living in southern Ontario, uses his art to resolve the differences reflected in these two life styles. In Between Two Worlds: Sculpture of David Ruben Piqtoukun, Piqtoukun interprets the non-Inuit influences that have altered his traditional culture and his own life, while continuing to explore the shajnanic themes which fascinate him. Born in 1950, David Ruben Piqtoukun spent his young childhood in camps along the Arctic coast north of the Mackenzie River Delta. At the age of five, he was sent to residential school, first in Aklavik, then in Inuvik. Many of the works in this exhibition come out of his years in the residential school system, his sense of lost language and culture, the religious assimilation forced on the children. A continuing theme in Piqtoukun's work is his interest in ancestral shamanic beliefs. The oral traditions, traditions, stories passed down by his mother and grandmother, grandmother, arc a powerful stimulus to his active imagination. imagination. Although the theme may be traditional, the medium medium is not-Piqtoukun works in Italian alabaster, African wondcrslonc, and Brazilian soapstone. This exhibition was curated by Darlene Coward Wright and circulated by the Winnipeg Art Gallery. For further information contact Alexandra Morin, Community Relations Supervisor (905) 576-3000.
