March Break day camps in Quebec this week are being cancelled because of a lack of staff.
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.
“We’re still looking for people in Gatineau, but in Ottawa I still have no applications actually,” he says.
He’s focused on summer camps, after skipping March Break day camps altogether.
“It was hard to find staff,” he says. “It was taking too much energy to offer that service, so we concentrate our effort to offer a good summer camp.”
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.
“Unfortunately, we had to cancel,” says Adrian Das, Altitude Gym Technical Director.
