PET OF THE WEEK
Ruby Hi, my name is Ruby! I am the pretty fluffy red and white gal! I was born in the shelter and grew up in the best foster home (Hi foster mom!) I had a great time learning and growing, but now it’s time for me to join a family – maybe yours? I am not the same as the rest of my siblings though, I am blind! I don't let it get me down though - I've never known any different! I am looking for an experienced family who has realistic expectations about life with a blind dog. I am a real sweetheart – cuddling with people is my favorite activity! I am very easy-going and playful, so I wouldn't mind having some older people brothers or sisters. I get to attend ‘Precocious Puppies’ with you and I cannot wait! Finding a family of my own will be the best – please adopt me soon!
Reference Number: A21652757 Name: Ruby
Included in the adoption fee: - Spay/Neuter surgery - Microchipping - First set of vaccines - Complimentary post-adoption vet exam - And so much more!
Age: 2 Months Sex: Spayed Female Species: Dog Breed: Labrador Retriever X Border Collie Color: Red & White

Do you have a work-related question? Send your questions to Working Wise, at charles.strachey@gov.ab.ca. Charles Strachey is a manager with Alberta Human Services. This column is provided for general information.
You can check out that report along with other labour market statistics at http://work.alberta.ca/lmi And, you can find out how much you might make in each job by referring to the WAGEinfo data base on the Alberta Learning Information Service (ALIS) web site at http://alis.alberta.ca/WAGEinfo. But job ads are one of the best indicators of where the job opportunities are right now. According to Wanted Analytics, there were 60,000 advertised jobs in Alberta in January--down 1,500 jobs, or 2.5 per cent, from the same time last year. Occupations that saw the biggest growth in job postings, included: + 81% + 57% + 33% + 29% + 22% + 20% + 18% + 18% + 17%
Public Works Equipment Operators Residential Home Builders Plasterers, Drywall Installers, Finishers Restaurant and Food Service Managers Contractors, Carpentry Trades Storekeepers and Parts Clerks Carpenters Financial Managers Stationary Engineers / Equipment Operators
You can learn more about any occupations that interest you, including working conditions, required training, and average wages, by checking out the OCCinfo database on the ALIS web site at http://alis.alberta.ca/OCCInfo. Of course, these are just trends. The best thing to do is check your local job boards for opportunities that interest you. You can also attend local Alberta Works job fairs. A list of job fairs is available at: http://humanservices.alberta.ca/jobfairs. You can also call the Career Information Hotline toll-free 1-800-661-3753 and talk to a live Career Counsellor about your next career move. Good luck!
