The rules follow changes to the Employment Standards Act passed in spring 2019, and will come into effect on Oct. 15, giving employers and young workers time to adjust, said Labour Minister Harry Bains. “Work experience should be a rewarding growth opportunity for young people but it should never compromise their safety,” he said. Light work includes coaching, retail duties such as stocking shelves, setting up displays, sales and working as a cashier. Young people can bus tables, prepare and serve food and non-alcoholic drinks, lifeguard, garden, cut grass, harvest by hand, and do light farm and yard work. They can be golf caddies, camp counsellors and computer programmers, and perform skilled and technical work.
