An apprenticeship is a structured form of trades training where you learn by doing. Instead of just reading or listening, you get hands-on experience. Most of the time (about 80%), you work and learn on the job from skilled professionals—and you get paid while you learn!
The remaining time (about 20%) is spent in classroom-based learning, which might take place at a college, a union training center, or another learning space
Apprenticeships take 2 to 5 years, depending on the trade.
Typically, you work for a year or more, then take 8-12 weeks of classroom training.
This cycle continues until you complete the program.
Certificates you can earn
Certificate of Apprenticeship – Issued by Skilled Trades Ontario when you officially complete your apprenticeship program.
Certificate of Qualification – If your trade has a certifying exam, you can take it to get a Certificate of Qualification to prove you have all the skills needed for the job.
Red Seal Endorsement – If your trade is part of the Red Seal program, passing the exam means you have demonstrated the knowledge required for the national standard in the trade.

Gain skills for a stable, well-paying career

Earn an industry-recognized and respected certificate
Enter a high-demand field with strong job prospects

This mock jury selection exercise is designed to help you understand the process of establishing an impartial jury. While many of us understand the process of how jurors collaborate and deliberate on a case, the selection process is not often discussed or well understood. Many movies and television shows demonstrate how lawyers persuade jurors when presenting an argument; however, few media sources show the process of forming jury panels and selecting jury members for individual trials. This simulation will assess jury selection in hypothetical scenarios. When incorporated into a lesson, this task will simulate the entire process of jury selection. The re-enactment of this task requires students to play the role of lawyers, a judge, a registrar, prospective jurors, and the accused.
INTRODUCTION TO JURY DUTY Jury duty is one of many responsibilities that Canadian citizens are required to carry out. A jury is a group of individuals that makes a decision about a court hearing in an impartial manner. By being impartial, jurors are required to reach a decision based on the evidence presented in court, and reach a decision without any biases. In order to ensure that jurors are not biased, a series of steps occurs in the jury selection process to ensure that qualified and impartial jurors are selected to participate on juries.
The jury selection process is a critical process for the parties involved in a legal matter because the jury will ultimately decide the outcome of the trial. Therefore, it is important for both sides to have an impartial jury.
THE JURIES ACT The legislation governing the rules and regulations related to juries in Ontario is called the Juries Act. 1 It outlines the laws related to the eligibility of jurors, the preparation of jury rolls, the preparation of jury panels, the drawing of juries during a trial, and bringing challenges against potential jurors on the grounds that they might be biased or otherwise unsuitable to act as a juror.
ELIGIBILITY OF JURORS According to s. 2 of the Juries Act, in order to be eligible to act as a juror in Ontario, one must: (1) reside in Ontario, (2) be a Canadian citizen, (3) be at least 18 years of age at the beginning of the year in which the jury is selected, and (4) be able to speak, read, and understand English or French. A person may be ineligible to serve as a juror depending on their occupation, their connection with the court matter that they are a potential juror for, the recency of their previous jury service, or any personal circumstances that may
Patients may provide health care professionals the Disability Determination Package (DDP) to complete so that the Ministry of Children, Community and Social Services can determine whether they have a disability for the purposes of qualifying for the Ontario Disability Support Program (ODSP). Health care professionals may submit the DDP either on paper or digitally through the Ministry of Health’s Special Authorization Digital Information Exchange (SADIE).
To avoid delays for your patient, it is important to:
complete all sections and questions as fully as possible
include duration for all condition(s) and resulting impairment(s)
sign all appropriate pages if sending paper originals or uploading copies
attach or upload additional medical and supporting information, such as clinical notes, hospital reports or consult reports, that support or clarify the information you identify in the forms
Ontario Disability Support Program (ODSP) provides financial assistance, health and other benefits and employment supports to eligible Ontario residents who:
have a disability as defined by the Ontario Disability Support Program Act, or are a member of a prescribed class that is exempt from the disability adjudication process
are 18 years older (those under 18 can start the application process up to six months before their 18th birthday)
are in financial need
Who qualifies
To receive ODSP income support and benefits, your patient must meet the definition of disability under the ODSP Act. Being a person with a disability means:
they have a substantial physical or mental impairment that is continuous or recurrent and expected to last one year or more
the direct and cumulative effect of their impairment results in a substantial restriction in their ability to work, take care of themselves or taking part in the community
the impairment, its likely duration and restrictions have been verified by an approved health care professional
Prescribed classes
Prescribed classes are specific categories of people who do not have to go through the disability adjudication process to qualify for ODSP. People in these categories must still apply and meet all other ODSP eligibility requirements.
For example, some of your patients may be exempt from the disability adjudication process if they:
receive Canada Pension Plan Disability (CPP-D)
receive Quebec Pension Plan Disability (QPP-D)
are eligible for adult developmental services and supports from Developmental Services Ontario (DSO)
are 65 or older and not eligible for Old Age Security (OAS)
are a resident of a designated psychiatric facility or home for special care
Health care professionals must complete the Medical Review Package to help us determine whether a person continues to meet the definition of a person with a disability for the purposes of the Ontario Disability Support Program (ODSP). The Ministry of Children, Community and Social Services uses this set of forms to determine if your patient still qualifies for ODSP income support.
If they have a medical review date assigned, patients might bring you the Medical Review Package to complete.
To avoid delays for your patient, it is important to:
complete all sections and questions as fully as possible
include duration for all condition(s) and resulting impairment(s)
sign all appropriate pages
attach additional medical and supporting information, such as clinical notes, hospital reports or consult reports, that support or clarify the information you identify in the forms
As of August 2021, there is an updated Self Report form to submit with the Medical Review Package should patients wish to complete one. The medical review process and definition of disability have not changed.

We are grateful for all the Indigenous and Métis generations who have cared for this land and continue to reside here. We are committed as an organization to work in the spirit of reconciliation.
Two people were injured by a bear in the area of Peoples Road near Fifth Line East yesterday afternoon. According to a release from the Sault Ste. Marie Police Service, the victims may have inadvertently come between a bear and its cubs. The pair sustained serious but non-life-threatening injuries and were transported to the hospital.
The bear has yet to be located as of Thursday morning and the Ministry of Natural Resources is managing the incident.
Sault Police are reminding community members using walking trails to remain alert, keep dogs on a leash, and make plenty of noise while walking to alert bears to your presence so they can avoid you.
Not every bear encounter is an emergency situation. Call 911 if the bear poses an immediate threat to personal safety and exhibits threatening or aggressive behaviour. For non-emergency encounters call the toll-free Bear Wise reporting line at 1-866-514-2327.
For more information on preventing and reporting encounters with black bears please visit this page.
The Algoma Veterinary Clinic is reporting a confirmed case of West Nile Virus killed a horse in East Algoma.
West Nile Virus is a neurological condition that can affect the spinal column or the brain, and is usually spread by the bite of a mosquito that has fed on an infected bird.
Clinic owner and veterinarian Dr. Keith Good says the horse succumbed to the virus and died about a week-and-a-half ago. Due to privacy concerns, he couldn’t say exactly where the horse was located when it died.
“This one here developed weakness in its hind end. It got to the point where it had trouble standing,” Good said. “It didn’t really have seizures, but there were obvious neurological signs.”
Good said there’s a vaccine available to horse owners that provides protection from the virus. “It requires two doses at least three weeks apart, and then probably another week to develop full protection,” he said.
The virus can’t be transmitted from horse to horse, or from horse to human.
“It’s kind of a moot point at this time of the year, because by the time we get horses that have never been vaccinated before protected, mosquitoes will probably be gone for the season.” “Even infected horses have so little virus in their bloodstream that mosquitoes don’t usually pick it up from a horse,” Good said. “The transmission is from birds to horses.”
It’s the first time the clinic has seen a confirmed case of West Nile Virus in a horse since 2017.
The Group of Seven was a group of Canadian Artists between the years 1920-1933. The group had more than seven artists over its formation, but the founding members included Franklin Carmichael (1890-1945) who was born in Orillia, A.Y. Jackson (1882-1974), Frederick Varley (1881-1969), Lawren Harris (1885-1970), J.E.H. MacDonald (1873-1932), Frank Johnston (1888-1949) and Arthur Lismer (1885-1969). Other artists associated with the Group of Seven included Tom Thomson (1877-1917), A.J. Casson (1898-1992), Edwin Holgate (1892-1977) LeMoine FitzGerald (1890-1956) and Emily Carr (1871-1945). Each artist within this group had their own style, but the common thread was that they were artists rooted in traditional Academic art but inspired by European Post-Impressionism and even contemporary Scandanavian landscape painting. The group was known for painting the Canadian landscape almost always void of its inhabitants. The Group of Seven helped to solidify Canada’s contribution to the artworld in the twentieth century, and their influence is still seen in many landscape artists today.
