Do you need help with snow shovelling?

During the winter months we offer a snow shovelling service - we match homeowners with people looking for casual labour. This is an informal matching service - homeowners meet the person and make specific plans once the person arrives at their home. We recommend a $10 an hour payment. The Working Centre offers mediation and problem-solving assistance as required.
