You can purchase the book at the Lakeside Supermarket in Bewdley, or send a $55 cheque to Tourist Resort Services (P.O. Box 506, Bewdley, ON KOL 1E0).

Steve and Rebecca Daynes of the Staffing Connection and Level A Professional Group have lots of news. Level A has been located at 150 King Street, above the Post Office for about a year. The Staffing Connection just joined them last week, giving both companies a better setup for their operations. They also just introduced a new program of support for their employees and candidates. Called the LIFT Support Program, it’s designed to provide resources both within the company, and in the community, to support their people with personal challenges, returning to work, career paths, stress management, and more.
