Join ACTEW at the Women's Summit in Brockville

I'm thrilled to give you the first scoop: ACTEW is partnering with the Education and Employment Centre in Brockville to hold a Women's Summit on November 29 and 30, 2006.

ACTEW will be talking to local employment and training agencies and women's service providers about the LMDA and LMPA and women's long-term sustainable employment. We're also bringing representatives from Service Canada and the Ontario Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities (MTCU) to explain the implementation of these new agreements.

What I'm personally really excited about is that the Women's Summit will be for job-seekers as well as service providers. ACTEW will hear from women directly about their successes and challenges in finding meaningful work. We will share what we hear with policy-makers who looking to create effective training and employment programs.

If you live in or near the Brockville area, please join us! We'll post information here as it becomes available.

If you live elsewhere in the province and are interested in convening a meeting or event for your region and would like to discuss the LMDA and LMPA, let me know.

Hope to see you in November,
Deanna
