Applications open for the 2027 Canada Summer Jobs program

Applications are now open for the 2027 Canada Summer Jobs program, offering wage subsidies to eligible employers hiring young people for summer positions.

The federal program supports work opportunities for people aged 15 to 30, helping them gain skills and experience while earning money for education and living expenses. Job placements are expected to begin in April 2027.

Eligible applicants include not-for-profit organizations, public-sector employers and private businesses with 50 or fewer full-time employees that have been operating for at least two years.

Medicine Hat–Cardston–Warner MP Glen Motz has identified support for not-for-profit organizations, small businesses, municipal activities, agriculture and skilled trades as local priorities for the program.
