Successful Economic Development Starts With Jobs.

 

 

Chief Clarence Louie of the Osoyoos Indian Band in Central B.C. spoke to the Job Fair in Flin Flon yesterday about his band’s success at economic development.  Chief Louie says in order to lead a healthy lifestyle you need employment as whenever there’s unemployment you have a lot more social ills and social problems.  He says it bothers him when he goes to an area and he hears that the First Nation unemployment exceeds great depression unemployment, adding he heard one of the community members tell him that their unemployment rate is 90 percent and that bothers him and it should bother everybody because every successful person he’s ever met has their life focused around a job.

             

Chief Louie says you have to develop a passion for work and native people have to get back into the workforce.  He says it starts with education, job opportunities have to be available and the Chiefs have to start concentrating on the economy and on creating jobs and businesses.
