Hundreds of folks, many of them immigrants or high school students, dropped by the Reid Community Centre last Thursday for the Mount Pearl - Paradise Chamber of Commerce Job Fair. Some 28 employers, including the City of Mount Pearl, Town of Paradise, Marie’s Mini Mart, and PAL Airlines, manned booths and spoke with potential future employees. Shelly England, Career Development Officer with Trades NL, an umbrella labour organization representing 14 different local trades unions, said she was happy to see so many young people from nearby schools expressing an interest in trades. Sgt. Sarah Parkes and Cpl. Michael Halitzki with the 37 Canadian Brigade Group also spoke with the students and job seekers. Mark Squibb photos
