Attending the June 15 press conference to announce the funding were CSEPR staff members Josee Lalande and Valerie Thibodeau (left), CSEPR President Carl Portelance, CSEPR Executive Director Caroline Arcand, MP Giovanna Mingarelli, United Counties of Prescott and Russell Warden Mario Zanth, and Hawkesbury Mayor Robert Lefebvre.

The federal government will provide $164,000 in additional funding support for the agency\u2019s InterActions Program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis contribution is a vital lever for our organization,\u201d stated CSEPR President Carl Portelance, \u201cand, most importantly, for the individuals we support. It allows us to continue changing lives and building a more inclusive community.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The funding for the InterActions Program comes through the federal Opportunities Fund for Persons with Disabilities. The CSEPR program assists Prescott and Russell residents who have a disability in their search for employment through job placement and also efforts to improve their employment skills and improve their confidence in seeking employment. The focus of the program, according to the CSEPR. is on \u201cconcrete, person-centred interventions that promote sustainable workforce integration, including skills development, personalized coaching, and long-term employment support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The extra federal funding will allow the CSEPR to add 20 more participants to its InterActions Program. This will mean a total of 137 people helped by the program since it was created in 2023. According to CSEPR InterActions representative Josee Lalande reported that 62 of the program\u2019s participants are now employable.<br>The CSEPR maintains five offices in the Eastern Ontario region, in Hawkesbury, Rockland, Embrun, Casselman, and Alexandria.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The non-profit agency that helps people in Prescott find work received some extra funding support from the federal government for one of its programs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":140365,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[61],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-140314","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"acf":[],"featured_media_global":{"id":136828,"title":{"rendered":"ACTGC-CSEPR_funding"},"description":{"rendered":""},"caption":{"rendered":""},"alt_text":"","media_type":"image","mime_type":"image\/jpeg","media_details":{"width":800,"height":600,"file":"2026\/06\/ACTGC-CSEPR_funding.jpg","filesize":388936,"sizes":{"medium":{"file":"ACTGC-CSEPR_funding-300x225.jpg","width":300,"height":225,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":20493},"thumbnail":{"file":"ACTGC-CSEPR_funding-150x150.jpg","width":150,"height":150,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":8581},"medium_large":{"file":"ACTGC-CSEPR_funding-768x576.jpg","width":768,"height":576,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":89333},"Image Size 500x500":{"file":"ACTGC-CSEPR_funding-500x500.jpg","width":500,"height":500,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":55834}},"image_meta":{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"0","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"1","keywords":[],"alt":""}},"source_url":"https:\/\/editionap.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/06\/ACTGC-CSEPR_funding.jpg"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.9 -
