Dear Colleagues:

We are pleased to announce, in light of the feedback from archives, libraries and other heritage employers from across Canada, that Canadian Heritage (PCH) has extended the deadline for applications for YCW summer jobs (YCWHO) to February 1, 2017.

I would encourage you to visit our website (www.archivescanada.ca/YCW) for information concerning the Young Canada Works program.

If we may be of assistance during the application process, please contact Louise Charlebois (ycw_jct@archivescanada.ca) or Sabrina Pound (ycw-cla@archivescanada.ca).

Thank you!

Christina Nichols

The deadline is fast approaching for submission of applications to the summer stream of the 2017 Young Canada Works program. You must submit your applications by February 1, 2017.

Information about YCW can be found at http://archivescanada.ca/YCW

The application deadline for the internships is March 15, 2017.

We wish to remind you that CCA is also accepting applications for libraries operating in English.  Colleagues in the library community will have to select “Canadian Library Association” as the delivery organisation when preparing their application.

A few tips to help with your new YCW account Based on recent interactions we have added with applicants, we wish to offer the following tips to help you with the creation of your YCW employer profile:

  1. When creating your password, do ensure that it includes the following: one upper case character, one lower case character, one number and one special character (such as “!” or “?”).
  2. When inserting your federal business number, do ensure that you use the “-“.
  3. When confirming your email address, do ensure to visit your junk mail folder to verify if the confirmation email sent by YCW has not arrived in it by mistake.

If you have any questions concerning your application in the archival field, do not hesitate to contact Louise Charlebois or Isabelle Alain at ycw_jct@archivescanada.ca

If you have any questions concerning your application as a library operating in English, do not hesitate to contact Sabrina Pound (ycw-cla@archivescanada.ca) or Louise Charlebois (ycw_jct@archivescanada.ca).
