 Who We Are


Since the late 1970s Klondike Outreach has been successful in securing yearly funding, through Service Canada, previously known as HRSDC, to provide employment services to job seekers and support to employers. We are a non-profit organization supervised by a volunteer Board of Directors. Our mandate is to provide employment services to a rural community.

Because we are funded through Service Canada, there is a required statistical and financial reporting process. We track our day-to-day operations for job seekers and employers. With this information, we are able to evaluate and plan for future services under Service Canada funding guidelines.
