Yes Employment Services held its 17th annual Yes Training Trust Fund awards ceremony Thursday, May 4 and this year’s keynote speaker was Kristopher Burton who provided an inspirational account of the difficulties he had to surmount in his life and encouraged the youth to reach out for assistance when it is needed. 

The purpose of this awards ceremony is to recognize young people who have clearly identified their career goals and have adopted short and long-term plans to reach this goal. These young people have had to overcome obstacles and challenges to reach their goals.  Fundraising events are held annually to collect money for these bursaries. 

At this same ceremony, two local organizations were honoured for providing outstanding training or employment opportunities for our local youth:  Central Welding & Iron Works and Asimco Properties Inc.

The John Lewis Memorial Award recognizes a non-profit that has provided meaningful volunteer placements to Yes Employment Services clients.  John Lewis, a pioneer board member of Yes Employment Services, was an exceptional community volunteer.  Nancy Lewis presented this award to Stepping Stones Services.
