Hello. For 2015, the Chelsea Municipal Council have been considering the CYC as a possible budget cut. However, as an ex-member of this cooperative, I can attest to how important it is in our community, and I firmly believe it should not be discontinued. It not only does an excellent job initiating teenagers to their first jobs, such as lawn mowing, gardening, painting and numerous other tasks, but also teaches them a great deal about cooperatives and how to manage them, seeing as all the members make the decisions democratically, such as choosing a president or the date for a fundraising event. It is a great first step towards getting a job due to its practical and informative aspects.


Bonjour. Pour l'année 2015, le conseil municipal de Chelsea considère présentemment l'arrêt de la CJS de Chelsea pour des raisons financières. Cependant, en tant qu'ex-membre de cette coopérative, je peux témoigner de combien il est important dans notre communauté, et je crois fermement qu'il ne devrait pas être abandonné. D'abord, c'est une excellente façon d'initier les adolescents à leur premier emploi grâce aux services rendues, tels que la tonte de pelouse,le jardinage, la peinture et de nombreuses autres tâches, et aussi de leur apprendre beaucoup d'information sur les coopératives et de la façon de les gérer, car tous les membres prennent les décisions démocratiquement, comme le choix d'un président ou la date pour un événement de collecte de fonds. Cette coopérative peut être une bonne première étape vers l'obtention d'un emploi en raison de ses aspects pratiques et informatifs.

It would be a shame to cut this program , which provides unique and real life experience for young people in Chelsea, as well as high quality affordable services to residents. I have engaged the CYC many times over the past few years and have always been grateful for the service as well as happy to support the personal growth of some of my young neighbours. This program can't possibly cost enough to have any impact on taxpayers, relative to the benefits our community receives from it. Please continue to support the CYC, I urge you mayor and councillors and taxpayers.

Such an incredible initiative should be a priority for a town as progressive as Chelsea. Cutting this program is unacceptable and a step backwards for our community.

CYC is a terrific both for the participants and the broader community that it serves.
