March Break day camps in Quebec this week are being cancelled because of a lack of staff.
Frédéric Ouellet is the director of the Kinéactif Day Camp, and on Tuesday he took part in a Gatineau Job Fair, looking to hire staff for his summer camps.
Gatineau’s Altitude Gym cancelled its March Break day camps because finding employees to run them put Altitude Gym between a rock and a hard place.“We’ve had challenges finding staff for such a specialized position, people who can work with children, who have experience,” he tells CTV News Ottawa. “To find somebody who is available during a March Break and now, generally because of general labour shortages, we’re finding it’s additionally more challenging than ever to try and do this.
According to the city, a spot was found for each child, but some parents are having to drive farther to send their children to the camp. Ontario’s March Break is next week, and staffing issues don't affect city of Ottawa-run day camps. According to Dan Chenier, General Manager, Recreation, Cultural and Facility Services with the City of Ottawa, “No March Break camps have been cancelled due to staffing issues. Five were cancelled due to low registration numbers.”
