While there’s still another six months or so of winter to struggle through, the Town of Bay Bulls is already looking ahead to it’s 2026 summer season.
During last month’s meeting, Deputy Mayor Ethan Williams moved that the Town apply to the 2026 Canada Summer Jobs Program for funding for three student positions. One of those positions will be a tourism chalet worker, while the other two will be outside recreation and maintenance workers.
Depending on the chalet’s hours, the tourism chalet position may be split between two students.
“This program is a great benefit to us, as a town, but also to the students,” said Williams. “I was one of those students years prior. And anyone I’ve spoken to who has held a position has had high praise for being able to spend the summer working for the community, and it seems to really bring young people into the community. So, I’m glad to see that we’re applying again.”
Mayor Keith O’Driscoll concurred that the program is great for both students and the community.
The motion was approved unanimously.
