. Agri-news. Agriculture. TIVO MORE FARM LABOR POOLS FOR ALBERTA Vegreville and Drumheller will both have Canadian farm labor pools this spring, bringing the number that have been established in Alberta in the last year to eight. The others are located in Brooks, Calgary, Red Deer, Wetaskiwin, Camrose and Edmonton. The federal government, with assistance from Alberta Agriculture, has already organized local agricultural manpower boards at Vegreville and Drumheller. These boards act in an advisory capacity to the Canadian farm labor pool manager in the local area. Made up of representatives from the local community, farm organizations, labor groups, the federal-provincial Agricultural Manpower Committee and the manager of the nearest Canadian manpower centre, they establish operational guide lines for the pools. Canadian farm labor pools, which will total 54 across Canada this year, were started in 1974 to help alleviate shortages of agricultural workers by organizing the farm labor market, by attracting more people to agricultural work and by encouraging better wages, housing and working conditions. They help to match the labor supply with labor demand, and, in some cases, provide up to four days of orientation training for workers being placed in unfamiliar jobs.
