Cornwall, Ontario – Job seekers will have a chance to meet employers up close and personal at the Cornwall and Area Job Fair in September.

The Job Fair will be held at the Cornwall Civic Complex on Wednesday, September 13 and is being organized by the Social Development Council (SDC) Employability Network. This event is free and open to anyone seeking employment or volunteer opportunities in Cornwall, Stormont, Dundas, Glengarry, and Akwesasne.

“There are many job opportunities in Cornwall and the surrounding area,” says Alex de Wit, Executive Director of the SDC.  “This event will help to showcase what our business community and job market has to offer.”
