| Quote of the Month | |
"Whatever you do, do it to the purpose; do it thoroughly, not superficially. Go to the bottom of things. Any thing half done, or half known, is in my mind, neither done nor known at all. Nay, worse, for it often misleads."
Lord Chesterfield
(1694 - 1773) |

Looking for "that" job in the Bank?
 Required: Minimum 1 year experience working in a bank outside Canada. Yes read again, "outside Canada"! Going through tons of job postings, while looking for that one job description that does not ask for Canadian experience, is hard to find for a newcomer.
If you have worked in financial services in another country and now looking to get into the Canadian banking sector, there is government funding available for you. This 3 week program will help you to:
- Prepare for the Canadian Securities Course exams
- Learn about the business culture of Canada's financial sector
- Understand what employers expect and how to handle workplace communications
- Learn effective job search strategies

"and we love it, too", replied the rest on board.
On Saturday, June 5th, the Newcomer Information Centre, in co-operation with City of Brampton and the City's Recreation Division, gave its clients a firsthand chance to experience Züm that Brampton Transit is deploying next November on certain routes.
Züm (pronounced "zoom") is a City of Brampton initiative that will introduce Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) services along the City's key north-south and east-west corridors to find faster ways to connect people and places.
For more information about this event, contact NIC Brampton East office, tel. (905) 595-0722 ext. 4000 or nic@tcet.com or
