MONTREAL An innovative, life-changing job training program is making change for Canadians with autism who are facing some of the highest levels of unemployment in the country. Giant Steps Montreal, an organization devoted to educating autistic youth, has teamed up with grocery chains Loblaw and Provigo to provide training and internships as part of a new nine-month program. “They have an opportunity for full-time employment, full pay [and] benefits, which is what we are hoping for them,” Wagar Adult Education Centre principal Nick Katalifos told CTV News. His school is providing students as part of the program. The national unemployment rate in Canada is just over eight per cent, but that figure is more than ten times higher for Canadians with autism. And the new bilingual Polaris Enterprise initiative is hoping to tackle that by preparing students to be ready for front-line work.

GREENSBURG Anyone who knows a Girl Scout knows it’s time to continue a tradition that is as steeped in history as it is in divine indulgence – Girl Scout cookie time. As local Girl Scout Service Troop 702 sets up their drive-thru booth in the Greensburg Staxx parking lot, a died-in-the-wool American tradition continues with modern trappings to mitigate modern risk.
Girl Scout cookies were first peddled by an individual Girl Scout unit, the “Mistletoe Troop” in Muskogee, Oklahoma, in December 1917 at a local high school.
