Princeton shows the “Heart of Community” in its Competition for a WIN in the Kraft Hockeyville Contest

 

When people of a community rally together it brings solidarity to the surface. It oozes a sense of pride and infuses visions of hope for a bright and promising future for the Town of Princeton.  Together this community is making the most out of its opportunity to make Princeton the Winner of Kraft Hockeyville 2022!

If Princeton were to win, the town arena would get a pre-season NHL game and a $250,000 financial infusion that would make a world of difference to the aging facility. The roof leaks so bad that hockey games have to be stopped to clean up the water.  Tires and plastic wrap are currently the band-aids of the moment.   The mezzanine and changerooms could use some help with that money, but the roof would likely take the lion’s share. BUT this is not the only win.

The win is important… but for weeks local heroes have been staging the scene to get into the TOP 4.  And then it was announced… we made the Top tier. In the last few days, the way this community has come together is nothing short of INSPIRED! Princeton and friends should be proud of the exceptional comradery felt in these times. 

Even in the darkest of times; the Fires of 2020 and the devastating Flood of 2021, people have stuck together, and helped one another and it is soul wonderful to see how everyone is working together in this competition! Below is our mayor leading the charge yet again with an Interview on a local radio show. Listen to the pride and authenticity in his voice, he proves to be a steadfast, truth-telling, dedicated leader with a legion of locals behind him 100% of the way!

The Princeton & District Community Skills Centre wants to acknowledge all of the heart and soul that make up this community! Sending out a BIG Kudos to our town, families, businesses, friends, and to all of those who still believe in the power of a small group of people… May this story of “Community Heart” be with you always.

June 6 & 7 Mental Health First Aid @ The Skills Centre!

Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) is the support provided to a person who may be experiencing a decline in their mental well-being or a mental health crisis. The Mental Health Commission of Canada reports that one in every five Canadians experiences a mental health problem within a given year. While we often know a lot about physical illness, there tends to be less knowledge about mental health or substance use problems. This lack of understanding leads to fear and negative attitudes towards individuals living with these problems. It prevents people from seeking help for themselves and from providing appropriate support to people around them.

Join Us:  June 6 & 7th 2022 at the Princeton Skills Centre.

DESCRIPTION: A 12-hour course taught over a 2 day period designed to support participants:

  1. Better recognize mental health problems
  2. Increase knowledge about appropriate treatments
  3. Reduce stigma and increase confidence in helping others

*Participants receive full certification with the Mental Health Commission of Canada

A Job Board belongs to the entire community.  It’s for Job Seekers, Career Changers, Business Leaders, Managers, Employees, Parents, Students, and Competitors.  The desired character, competencies, wages, working conditions and the language used begins to create a snapshot. 

It could be the starting place for a conversation with your current boss about many advertised attractors in this competitive Labour Market.
