Local Economic Updates: Côte Saint-Luc Jobs Program and Hampstead Parking Fee Hike
What happened
The city of Côte Saint-Luc is encouraging local businesses to apply for the Canada Summer Jobs program, a federal initiative that subsidizes wages for young people aged 15 to 30 hired for the summer. Under the program, small businesses with 50 or fewer full-time employees may receive up to half of the minimum wage, and non-profit organizations can receive up to the full minimum wage. Separately, the annual overnight parking permit fee in Hampstead has increased; the general fee is now $291, and the fee for a second or added vehicle is $450.
