For over 24 years, Chilliwack Employment
Services (CES) operating under Win Resources Ltd,
has delivered client focused employment services in
the Fraser Valley. Over the years in
Chilliwack alone we have had the pleasure of
assisting tens of thousands of residents secure new
employment options by providing the relevant,
accurate information in a respectful and caring
manner to assist them in transitioning to new
employment opportunities and accessing employment
programs and educational opportunities.
This is a very exciting time for all involved
at Win Resources Inc.
If you have questions or concerns please feel

Our goal is to make the transition for clients to the New Employment
Program for BC as smooth and seamless as possible to ensure everyone in
need of job search assistance has the appropriate
tools and skills to be successful.
Thank you,
The new WorkBC Employment Services Centres
will integrate all services currently offered
through a single door and make it easier to help
people find work and provide stability for their
families. No unemployed British Columbian will be
left behind because the new service providers must
ensure that everyone has access to the same
services, regardless of where they live in the
province.
All service providers will determine the best
way to ensure effective service delivery to
specialized populations and smaller communities. As
a result, specialized populations – including
immigrants, youth, Aboriginal people, Francophones,
persons with disabilities, survivors of violence,
persons with multiple barriers and people living in
rural and remote areas – will receive the full suite
of quality services through the new integrated
centres regardless of where they live.
Each employment centre will be able to make
use of various service channels to better serve
their clients. There will be 85 storefront locations
and another 114 satellite offices. Many locations
will also use mobile services and outreach for
specialized populations or those living in remote
areas. The ministry will set up an expert advisory
panel to monitor how the new model works for British
Columbians, and a panel of specialized experts to
examine how the model is working for clients with
specialized needs, such as those with disabilities
or clients with multiple barriers to employment.
The Province will invest $341.2 million in
employment services for 2011-12. The new employment
centres support the government’s Families First
commitment and BC Jobs Plan, which will strengthen
the economy, creating and protecting jobs for
British Columbians.
