Applications are now open for the 2027 Canada Summer Jobs program, a federal initiative offering wage subsidies to employers who hire young people aged 15 to 30 for summer work. Job placements under the program 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 staff that have operated for at least two years. The deadline for employer applications is Dec. 3, 2026.
Medicine Hat–Cardston–Warner MP Glen Motz identified local priorities for the riding, including support for not-for-profit organizations, small businesses, municipal activities, agriculture and skilled trades. National priorities for the program include jobs in construction, environmental and climate-related work, digital skills and artificial intelligence, and positions with not-for-profit organizations serving underserved and equity-deserving communities.
Motz encouraged eligible employers and not-for-profits across the riding to apply for funding, saying it would help young people build skills and gain work experience. Details on the application process are available through the Canada Summer Jobs applicant guide or by phone.
