The main employers in this area are three mining companies. The one I used to work for just put an ongoing CA$350M expansion project on hold, with a resulting hiring freeze and 900 layoffs. A second has just announced a three week extension to a one month shutdown, affecting 800 people out of a workforce of 1200. The third has announced a second four week shutdown for this year, 1200 people affected out of a workforce of 2000.
Not a cent from Capitaine Poutine and co. for those guys. Must be nice to live in ac 905.
