Movember sees men grow a mustache for  November to raise funds and awareness for prostate cancer.


 Exciting morning at the Movember Shave Off!

Movember is off to a strong start with support this am from Justice John K. Mitchell, MLA Wes Sheridan, MLA Robert Mitchell, MLA James Aylward (PC), Charlottetown Fire Chef Randy MacDonald, CBC Island Morning Matt Rainie & Mitch Cormier.

The Benefits of Mature Workers

Daily we see that workers are staying in the workforce longer. In fact, we know that baby boomers are looking for extra income with part time or fulltime work, with 1 out of ten older seniors working to just cover their expenses.  There are also many benefits to hiring seniors:
  1. Satisfied Customers:  If you higher older workers, older buyers will greatly appreciate this.
  2. Service with Experience: Customer Service is coupled with experience & effective problem-solving.
  3. Loyalty and Strong Work Ethic: Older workers stay longer and are very focussed, enhancing sales and saving employers time & money.
Also, have a listen to today's show from Maritime Noon re "Benefits of Hiring a Mature Worker"
