With the Christmas season winding up and the glint of New Year’s celebration in many eyes, residents are advised to be smart and stay safe whilst taking in festivities. The following are a few suggestions on how to plan ahead when hosting a party. Designate a legal driver to get guests home safe and sound. Providing nonalcoholic beverages for the designated driver (DD) allows them to enjoy the party as well. Arrange for overnight accommodations and ensure where you have your party, has plenty of parking and make allowances for overnight parking. Be that friend who takes away the keys but do so in a non-threatening, discreet manner. A sober friend will thank you when they wake up the next day, safe and sound. Call for a safe ride home. If the cab is already called for and arrived, it is much easier to convince a friend to take the safe ride home. If all else fails and a

person is insisting on driving, contact your local police. While it may be a difficult decision and a very last resort, it could very well save lives. If you intend on going out on the town, or to a party, then plan ahead and arrange for a designated driver, cab or other safe ride home. Leave your vehicle at home. Know your limits and stay within them. Your judgement is off when you over indulge with alcohol or cannabis and can make for regretful decisions. Never take a chance and drive if you have been drinking or using cannabis. Drink plenty of water and eat off and on while drinking alcohol. Stay physical. Participating in fun, safe games or dancing can help to burn off alcohol, not to mention calories. Stay with the pack. Remaining with and keeping an eye on friends will help ensure not only your own safety but your friends safety as well. Cracking down

Along with this time of year and the partying and merriment, comes Alber-

ta checkstops. The police will be out conducting Alberta checkstops in an effort to detect and prevent impaired driving. When approaching a checkstop, do so with caution ensuring you are totally aware of all other vehicles as well as officers’ presence on the roadways. When approached by the officer, remain calm and polite–cooperation goes a long way in making the experience quick and easy. Residents are reminded that as of Dec. 18, anyone operating a motor vehicle in Canada can be requested, by law, to provide a breath sample to a peace officer in a roadside screening for alcohol. In accordance to Bill C-46, police have the authority to obtain a sample of a driver’s breath without having suspicion that the driver has alcohol in their system. Toasting in the New Year is a long time tradition and one that can bring about joy and excitement, and doing so responsibly will help to ensure you will have the rest of 2019 to enjoy.

The happy in “Happy New Year”

In Canada, if you’re a teen-aged boy or a woman over 70, the odds are good you’re going to have a happy new year. I’m not making that up. Statistics Canada recently released a report on selfreported life satisfaction (or happiness). The two groups of Canadians who report being happiest—and by a wide margin compared to other age groups are teen-aged boys and women over 70. Go figure. As reported in Maclean’s, it makes sense that women over 70 are happy. If they’ve reached 70, they’re likely to be reasonably healthy. Assuming they have sufficient basic income, household income is not a big factor in older women’s life satisfaction (More money doesn’t make older people happier. However, poverty contributes to their unhappiness). For women over 70, family and career responsibilities are lighter and freedom is greater than in their earlier years. Their life satisfaction is most affected by the friends, family and community relationships gathered over a lifetime. A strong sense of belonging and accomplishment has a big impact on how people feel about their life, and older women usually have those experiences. That all makes sense. But even happier than women over 70, the happiest people in Canada are boys aged 15 to 19. Why is that?

The Camrose Booster thanks you for your interest in the letters page and encourages your comments. Spring election

There is talk of an early spring election here in Alberta. Time sure has gone so very fast since the Alberta New Democratic Party was elected as our government. There are many excuses which people give me for not voting. Some say that they do not know enough to pick a party. In the late summer 1935, a lack of knowledge did not stop the 80 plus per cent who showed up to vote the United Farmers out of office.

I would say it is a lack of interest, which stop most people from voting. Others say there is not a lot of choice. We have at least 10 parties which are registered here in Alberta. We have the Alberta Advantage Party, Alberta Liberal Party, Alberta New Democratic Party, Alberta Party, Communist PartyAlberta, Freedom Conservative Party of Alberta, Green Party of Alberta, Pro-Life Alberta Political Association, Reform Party of Alberta and The United

Conservative Party. There is no excuse not to vote. When our next election arrives, take the time to vote for someone in your area. Even if you decide to vote for a party who might not have a chance to get in. You will be surprised how much your vote does count in any election. By yourself, your vote means nothing. Together all your votes can change the world. Lorne Vanderwoude, Camrose

***

Boys in that age group are usually extremely healthy and have strong bonds with friends. However, they don’t have the kind of achievements and relationships that bring satisfaction to older women. As well, over the past 10 years, prospects for young men regarding both education and the job market have declined, while opportunities and the performance of young women have increased. So why are young men so happy? I laughed out loud when I read the explanation suggested by John Helliwell, a professor emeritus of economics at the University of British Columbia and a world-renowned happiness expert. Helliwell suggests that “self delusion” might explain why young men are happy. And young women? Their increased education and job market success in the past decade has been accompanied by greater anxiety and a dip in their life satisfaction. Helliwell says, “Boys seem to be cool with how things are and aren’t bothered by their performance.” Maybe boys are happier than girls because they keep expectations low. I found my mind spinning off into speculations about that and then reined in my mind and kept reading… What about the happiness of people between 20 and 70?

***

For both males and females, life satisfaction tends to decline as they move into adulthood. A “U-shaped” happiness curve is typical. In mid-life, competing demands of family, career, mortgage and other obligations take their toll. A return to teen-age levels of happiness typically doesn’t happen until all the overlapping pressures begin to resolve in later life. Helliwell’s happiness research has some clues for navigating those mid years (A friend once called them “that difficult stage between 30 and death” but he hadn’t experienced post-70 yet). Helliwell’s research indicates that, besides the twin pillars of good health and sufficient income, three big factors improve feelings of well-being: a congenial workplace, a stable neighbourhood and a happy marriage. So there you have it. ***

As you head into your happy new year, feel free to take those findings into consideration along with this wisdom from Mahatma Gandhi… “Happiness is when what you think, what you say and what you do are in harmony” …and this thought from John O’Donohue: “As this year draws to its end, We give thanks for the gifts it brought And how they became inlaid within Where neither time nor tide can touch them.” ***

Augustana presents public session By Lori Larsen

On Tuesday, Jan. 8 at 7 p.m., come out to hear visiting law professor Rebecca Probert as she explores the dramatic events behind Henry Cecil’s multiple marriages, at a free public event held in the Mayer room of the Jeanne and Peter Lougheed Centre. Probert will draw on new archival material and research. Professor Probert will lead the audience to the truth, which is even stranger than the myths that have arisen. In 1790, a wedding took place in a small Shropshire village between Sarah Hoggins, a local farmer’s

daughter, and the mysterious “John Jones”–who was in fact Henry Cecil, heir to the Earl of Exeter, and already married. How did this unlikely union come about? What happened to Henry’s first wife? What risks was Henry running by committing bigamy? And was there a happy ending? Probert is a professor of law at Exeter University in England. Ms. Probert will be in Camrose at the beginning of January, to share her fascinating research on marriage and family law. As part of the Public Lecture Series, she will also join Katharine Bat-

lan, postdoc fellow with the Chester Ronning Centre, in a Ronning Centre Event, Wednesday, Jan. 9 at 2 p.m. in the Roger Epp Room of the Augustana Campus. The topic of the event, Marriage Law in Britain and the US, will address British family law myths and will discuss religious responses to marriage law changes in the United States. These events are sponsored by the University of Alberta Augustana Campus and the Chester Ronning Centre for the Study of Religion and Public Life.

The custom of making New Year’s resolutions is not a new one, it is said that over 4,000 years ago the Babylonians made New Year’s resolutions and held elaborate celebrations to honour the new year which, for them, occurred in midMarch. Similarly, Romans symbolically looked backwards into the previous year and forward into the future, offering sacrifices to the deity and making promises of good conduct throughout the coming year. For early Christians, the beginning of the new year meant contemplating one’s past mistakes and resolving to do better in the year moving forward. Today resolutions have

moved away from promises to Gods or deities and are more secular based. People make promises to themselves or loved ones to improve their lives, whether that be through physical, emotional, intellectual, spiritual or occupational wellness. Unfortunately, despite all good intentions, 2017 reports indicated that 80 per cent of those who set New Year’s resolutions, fell off the bandwagon by the second week of February and that the most popular resolution was to lose weight and eat healthier; however, only 9.2 per cent actually reported feeling success in their goals. That shouldn’t stop you from trying though and in

an effort to help you succeed, here are a few tips. Do it immediately. Don’t hesitate, don’t wait for Monday. Start it now. Create a support group or cheer squad. Challenges are always easier if you have someone in your corner cheering you on. Don’t make unrealistic or unattainable goals. If you do fall off the bandwagon don’t despair. Look at it for exactly what it is, a bump in the road, don’t allow yourself to stay high centred. There are 365 days in a year, anyone of them can be the beginning of your new year. Most importantly do it for you, not the kudos or approval of others, but because it means something to you.

Spend winter at Miquelon Lake By Murray Green

It’s a winter wonderland at Miquelon Lake. Mild winter weather is creating the perfect conditions to get outdoors and enjoy some seasonal fun in Alberta’s provincial parks, this holiday season. You could spend an afternoon of tobogganing with the children, cross-country skiing through a still winter forest, or skating on a frozen lake, winter activities are plentiful at parks throughout the province. You can also combine skiing with exploring. Skijoring involves cross-country skiing with the help of one or more dogs. The

skier wears a skijoring harness and is connected with a rope to a dog wearing a sled dog harness. The cross-country skier provides power with skis and poles and the dog adds additional power by running and pulling. Skijoring is permitted on Beaver Hills, Chickadee, Deer, Ermine, Fox and Grouse Loop trails, as well as the Shoreline Path. Winter activities such as ice fishing, disc golf, snowshoeing and camping can be discovered at AlbertaParks.ca. The website also includes trail reports to help visitors prepare for their adventure.

Snowshoe rentals are available through the Miquelon Park Centre from Monday to Friday. Phone 780-6782022 for rental reservations. It is a short drive to Miquelon Lake Provincial Park to enjoy skating (ice rink is located near the park centre), or many of the other winter activities. A provincial park or provincial recreation area exists within one hour’s drive of every Alberta community, so opportunity abounds to spend outdoor quality time with friends and family this winter season.

CFCW announcer Donohue retires

Larry Donohue

By Murray Green

Radio announcer Larry Donohue has been entertaining country music fans in the Camrose area for the past 35 years. His last day at CFCW was on Dec. 21. “Radio hooked me in my hometown of St. Catharines, Ontario in 1970 as an overnight DJ. Radio has taken me through Oakville, Ontario, Chilliwack, BC and finally to CFCW in May of 1984,” recalled Larry.

“My wife Beth deserves a medal of honour for 45 years. I have a daughter, Jennifer, who has two sons: Alex and Cameron. And I have a son, Adam, who is married to Laurie. They have twin girls: Emily and Elizabeth. Larry was the music director and assistant program director at CFCW. “The assistant PD part means I do everything Jackie Rae (Greening)

Aaron Goodvin entertained thousands at this summer’s Big Valley Jamboree. Now he is looking forward to giving a more intimate show at the Jeanne and Peter Lougheed Performing Arts Centre, on Feb. 21, at 7:30 p.m.

ily around the campfire for sing-alongs. “It has always been my dream to play on the main stage. The bigger the stage the better. It was all about getting better for me. I just wanted to play on any stage they would let me,” added Aaron.

“Playing at BVJ is special because it is the largest outdoor music festival that I grew up around. I remember singing on the homegrown stage. The first week of August was always blocked off to come here. It is pretty amazing to be back and it is super when people know your songs and sing along. It just makes it that much more fun,” said Aaron. As Aaron grew up, so did his talent as he moved from the family stage to the main stage at BVJ. One of the benefits of growing up in a small town is learning to make your own entertainment. For Goodvin, from Spirit River, that meant joining his fam-

At 12 years old, Aaron entered a singing contest at a local mall. Once he heard the crowd’s applause, he knew performing was what he wanted to do. He learned to play guitar and started writing his own material and by age 18, he was contributing songwriting cuts to other artists. “It kept growing from there. I moved to Nashville eight years ago to write songs and I just wanted to be an artist. I really wanted to be the best at it,” he explained. “I wanted something of value to offer listeners, so I spent a lot of my life working on that. Now it has come full circle. It’s really cool to come back to places like this.

My phone has lit up from old bar owners and people in the area who have welcomed me back. It is amazing, the support that I have had. The story they tell–it’s cool about knowing me from back then.” Over the years, Aaron built a local reputation as a dynamic performer with a rock solid portfolio of songs. He began making trips to Nashville to test the waters in country music’s mecca. After signing with publishing powerhouse Warner Chappell Music, Aaron scored his first major-league contribution on the track “Out Like That” on Luke Bryan’s multi-platinum album Crash My Party. “I spent a lot of years wanting to come to Camrose to the big stage. We have different types of shows now. I got the chance to play before Gord Bamford, in Camrose, earlier at the same venue. It is amazing to play your own songs to a crowd that is sitting there wanting to listen to you, such as the Lougheed Centre. At the festivals, you just go out and have a blast. At the intimate shows, you get more of a chance to show them (fans) who you are.” This time, Aaron is the headliner at the Lougheed. “It is amazing to see the progression. I knew I was on my way (to be a headliner), but it felt that it was coming up so fast. Some things in your career go really fast and other things seem to take forever. This is something I’ve been working on for 20 years.” Continued on page 28

Tom Eglauer was born November 18, 1941 in Lloydminster, SK, and passed away on December 21, 2018 after a courageous fight with cancer. He is survived by his wife of 55 years Laura; children Brent (Barb), Vanita (Darrell), Armand, Len (Nancy); 6 grandchildren Megan, Colton, Noah, Alycia, Kendra and Derek; his brother Wayne (Rosemary). He was predeceased by his parents John and Mina, and his sister Anne. After completing his education at SAIT, Tom continued farming on the home farm near Blackfoot. In 1968, Tom began his carpentry career, building homes for the grain managers of the Alberta Wheat Pool across Alberta. Tom and Laura settled in Tofield in 1974, building a home and raising their family here. Tom was very well known and respected in the community. A carpenter by trade, he built countless homes in Tofield and area – all of which completed as if he were building for himself. Tom was an avid curler and sports fan. He loved being in the outdoors – whether fishing on the lake or working on his fish pond in the backyard. He was an avid model train enthusiast, spending hours developing the track around the basement. Most importantly, Tom loved spending time with his family, especially his grandchildren. He was a kind man who always had a joke at the ready. A funeral Mass was held at 11:00 am, Friday, December 28, 2018 at the The House Church, 5830-51 Street, Tofield. Interment will follow at the Tofield Cemetery. Memorial donations may be made to the Tofield and Area Health Foundation.

James Desmond Brady October 1, 1961 ~ December 21, 2018 James had a passion for life. He had many hobbies and talents, and as a Millwright Mechanic, he was truly a jack of all trades.

James loved camping, fishing and hunting. He also loved woodworking, and many family members have furniture pieces he had hand built. James loved music, and looked forward to attending Big Valley Jamboree every year. James loved farming. He came home to the farm for several weeks each spring and fall to help put in the crops and harvest. James had met his sweetheart Gail one and a half years ago and she brought a sparkle to his eyes.

Happy New Year everyone By Bruce Hinkley, Wetaskiwin-Camrose

MLA

With some 60 pieces of legislation passed in 2018 it would take a while to list and elaborate on all of them but here are some of the highlights. We have and will continue to work hard everyday to ensure that Albertans will come out of the recession stronger than we have ever been. “An Act to Combat Poverty and Fight for Albertans with Disabilities” is rooted in the belief that as Alberta is coming out of the worst recession in generations we will not leave people behind. It ensures AISH clients, seniors and low income Albertans will be able to afford basics by linking future benefits to the Consumer Price Index. This will provide stability and more certainty for vulnerable Albertans. “An Act to Protect Patients” will strengthen protection for patients from sexual abuse and sexual misconduct by regulated health professionals. By implementing a “Big City Charter,” Calgary and Edmonton are getting new tools to give them more flexibility in how they manage growth on behalf of their residents. Amendments address such areas as expanding the use of off-site levies in new developments, managing their own debt limits and adjusting local improvement tax time frames. Programs for other urban and rural municipalities are also being worked on. “An Act to Improve the Affordability and Accessibility of Post Secondary Education” will extend the tuition freeze for students and will add more students to postsecondary boards of governors. The Alberta school curriculums are being updated and modernized to reflect our diverse cultures, understand the truth of residential schools, highlight Indigenous traditions, contributions, achievements and language. Provincial parks are being expanded to preserve the beauty and vitality of our natural areas. New ambulances and more than 100 additional paramedics will help Albertans get faster emergency care and help alleviate pressures on emergency rooms and supports for front line workers. More schools will get solar panels to reduce electricity costs and some schools will be getting new playgrounds. The Premier is looking at proposals for new Alberta oil refineries. There are new provincial programs for communities to develop their own renewable energy projects and rebate support for residential solar panels. There will be better supports for First Nations children with recent signing of the memorandum of understanding around the Jordan’s Principle of providing care for children. New legislation will focus on improving the child intervention system. After decades of negotiations, an agreement has been reached to settle the long standing Lubicon Lake Band land claim as well as treaty benefits for their members. A new farm and ranch safety grant was launched to help eligible agriculture employers comply with new occupational health and safety requirements for workers. These regulations were created and approved by some 28 provincial agriculture associations. There was increased support to legal aid to ensure all Albertans have access to justice. 2018 was a good year in that no family farms were shut down due to OH + S rules changes; Alberta’s unemployment rate continues to decline as more people are working proving that neither raising minimum wages or having a carbon levy would kill the economy or jobs. Amazon which is building a 600 employee facility in Nisku has raised minimum wages to $15 all across North America and The Canadian Chamber of Commerce has reported that carbon pricing has “not” had a negative impact on small businesses but is the right thing to do. We have kept our promise to build 200 schools, but also reduced school fees, brought in school nutrition programs, reversed previous government cuts to educational funding and hired nearly 4,000 teachers and support workers. Funding for more police officers, crown prosecutors, and court staff has proven successful in reducing rural crime rates. Despite the negativity of naysayers and fearmongers 2018 has been a good year–promises are being kept, good governance, economic diversification, economic growth and consumer protection prevail. I wish to each of you a wonderful 2019 filled with good health, happiness and prosperity.

As much as the coming of a new year is a time to look forward to an exciting and uncertain future, it is also a time to look back and reflect on what has happened over the past year. It has been an interesting year in the news provincially, nationally and even internationally. It has also been a year filled with touching stories, important milestones, and significant issues locally. Here’s how those top stories unfolded this year in the pages of The Camrose Booster. 2 – The Cremona cowboy, Blake Reid, was promoting his third album. One of the places he stopped at was in Daysland at the Palace Theatre on Jan. 11. He was featured in the award winning full length film/music documentary and album No Roads In.

Goodvin returns for Lougheed Centre show Continued from page 8

Aaron continued to develop as a performer and eventually caught the attention of Johnny Reid. “I told Johnny that I just wanted to share my music with an audience,” said Aaron. “He’s taken me under his wing which shows you what kind of guy he is. He truly wants to help other artists.” Aaron’s versatility and passion for writing and performing is second to none. He has a natural ability to light up a stage, connect with his audience, and deliver a show-stopping performance, whether it’s a small

intimate gathering or a crowd of thousands. “I want to get out there and connect with people through my music. I’m a passionate guy who tries to write about real life things that mean something to a lot of people.” Hard work has paid off for this Alberta singer. “It is really fun for me now, but it wasn’t always fun. I’m working on a new album that will be out before I’m back in Camrose. I’m really excited about that. It will be exciting to share those new songs with people in Camrose.”

Sorenson family will be growing By Kevin Sorenson, MP, Battle River-Crowfoot

The New Year could not begin better for my wife, Darlene, and I, as in January 2019, we will welcome into our family our first grandchild. It has been such a joy to watch our daughter, Kristen, and her husband, Matthew, prepare for the arrival of their son or daughter. We cannot wait to hold and spoil this new little life that we are so blessed to be receiving. As I have done for the last 18 years, I will balance this new family responsibility with the demands of serving our large rural riding. Since first being elected in 2000, I have never taken for granted the honour that has been bestowed on me to represent the good people of Battle River-Crowfoot. I will do the same this New Year, as I have done every year since becoming a Member of Parliament, I will fight to have your voices heard, your questions answered, your many concerns addressed, and your problems cleared up. This, however, is becoming extremely difficult due to the Liberal government’s blatant neglect of Alberta and the many challenges we are facing. On the very last day of Parliament sitting in 2018, I stood in the House and asked: “Mr. Speaker, last week DND officials accidently revealed in the Public Accounts Committee the transfer of the Aerospace Engineering Test Establishment from Cold Lake to Ottawa. Despite assertions to the contrary, neither the MP, MLA or mayor of Cold Lake were briefed on the impact of this move such as the loss of 50 high paying jobs, let alone consulted on this decision. This is just the latest in this government’s agenda to destroy Alberta every which way it can. Mr. Speaker, to the Minister of National Defence, why this attack on Alberta?” I will continue to ask that question, as I will continue to ensure throughout 2019, the issues plaguing our great province are redressed and this includes getting the Trans Mountain pipeline completed, our oil flowing beyond our borders and our oil patch workers gainfully employed. If the Liberal’s disdain does not dissipate over the next 10 months, we will fight with everything we have to ensure a Conservative government is restored to power in October 2019. It will only be under the leadership of Andrew Scheer and a team of Conservative cabinet ministers that Alberta will get the respect it so richly deserves. Only a Conservative government will restore the fiscal imbalance which is now projected to be $30 billion. This is despite Justin Trudeau’s promise during the 2015 election to balance the budget in 2019. I will also be focusing on keeping Canadians safe, particularly those in rural areas who are experiencing a surge in property crimes. My Conservative colleagues and I will continue to fight for more secure borders and this includes withdrawing from the Global Compact on Migration to give Canadians the exclusive power to control who is permitted to enter and stay in our country. We will push for lower taxes, a level playing field and more deregulation so Canadian companies can compete and investor confidence, especially that of foreign companies, is restored. Truth be told, 2019 will not be much different than 2018, 2017 or 2016 in that we will, at least until October, remain the Loyal Official Opposition mandated to hold the Liberal government to account for their extensive list of failures and in doing so, protect the many varied interests of Canadians. If you have any questions or concerns regarding this or previous columns you may write me at 4945-50th Street, Camrose, Alberta, T4V 1P9, call 780-608-4600, toll-free 1-800-665-4358, fax 780-608-4603 or e-mail Kevin.Sorenson.c1@parl.gc.ca.

Helpful Tips for Writing Classified Ads Which Get Results! Be Thorough

Sure you want your ad to stand out from the rest, but don’t skimp on the sort of information that sells. The item’s condition, size, age, brand name, and colour are some of the basics readers want to know. Without them, your ad may be overlooked.

Steer Clear of Abbreviations

Okay, so you want to include all the important basics. Don’t use strange abbreviations because our ads are designed to spell all the important details. Besides, you are not paying by the line, but by the word, so there is really no need to abbreviate.

Be Honest

Exaggerating your item’s finer points may bring in a lot of responses, but a buyer who’s misled won’t appreciate it and will take his business somewhere else.

State Your Price

The cost of an item is one of the most important concerns of want ad readers. Ads showing prices are ones which get results. Giving a price also serves to “weed out” those buyers not in your price range.

Be Accessible

Including a telephone number or address puts you in touch with potential buyers. Be sure to state the hours you can be reached: a caller who can’t get through the first time often won’t call again.

Don’t hesitate to call us with any questions or problems you may have regarding advertising. Our professionally trained sales staff know the ropes, and would be happy to pass their know-how on to you. That’s why we’re here to help you get the results you deserve.

New employment standards for youth By Murray Green

COMMUNITY DONATIONS

Lori Larsen, Camrose Booster Above: Camrose Royal Purple Linda Stevenson, right presented a donation of $500 to the Camrose Women’s Shelter executive director Nora-Lee Rear. Below: Camrose Elks exalted ruler Gerry Czapp, right presented a $500 donation to Hospice Society of Camrose and District president Pam Cummer.

The Government of Alberta is updating employment rules for youth aged 12 and under. New standards only apply when there is an employment relationship, such as jobs where employers make mandatory deductions or provide benefits such as vacation pay. They do not apply to volunteer activities or casual work such as babysitting, lawnmowing, snow-shovelling, or farm and ranch work. The changes mean that youth aged 12 and under will only be able to be employed in artistic endeavours such as film, stage or television productions, and only with parental/guardian consent and a government-issued permit. The government consulted with more than 100 individuals and organizations including employers, parents, students, volunteer groups, worker support centres and farm representatives in its work to update the standards. “By providing clarity on the standards for employing youth under age 13, the updated legislation will

ensure stronger protection for children, while still offering them the choice to gain valuable life experience through their first jobs,” said Christina Gray, minister of labour. The changes complete the revisions to Alberta’s Employment Standards Code and Regulation that took effect last Jan. 1. Employers must provide proper training and supervision for young employees and inform parents/guardians of any workplace risks. The revised youth employment standards take effect Jan. 1, 2019. Rules have not changed for youth aged 13 and up. Youth aged 13 and 14 can be employed in such jobs as a store clerk, server, delivery person, dishwasher and food assembler, or in other jobs with a permit and parental consent. Youth aged 15 to 17 can be employed in most occupations, however, certain requirements for supervision and restrictions on hours of work apply. Youth employment rules do not apply to farms, ranches, babysitting, lawnmowing or snow-shovelling.
