Great question! Increasing local employment for residents but especially youth has been a sadly overlooked priority for over 20 years in New Tecumseth. I want people to live and work here. The last 4 years have saw employment opportunities stay stagnant while more people moved here and now compete for those jobs. Teens have a harder time finding a job today and that is unacceptable.

We have the skills, the labour force and infrastructure ready to go, we just lack the leadership.
