Casual Labour Week is here.

It's an annual event organized by The Comox Valley Service Canada Centre for Youth that links young people who are looking for casual summer work and employers who are in need of workers. It takes place from July 6 to 17.

"Casual labour week is a great opportunity for the Comox Valley SCCY to increase the number of casual job postings in our database," said Mathew Chisholm, Lead Youth Services officer. "These casual jobs offer a great opportunity for youth looking to build their work experience or earn extra money on top of their regular job."

Those looking for casual work can sign up for the labour program at the centre or attend outreach events held by SCCY team. All they have to do is provide their work experience and availability. They are then are notified when a suitable job become available. It can be anything from lawn work, clerical duties, and painting or flyer distribution.
