Canfor closure will put 300 employees out of work; many more supply-chain jobs at risk
“The city is not going to take this lying down,” Prince George Mayor Simon Yu said Thursday in reaction to Canfor's plans to permanently close the pulp division of Prince George Pulp and Paper, with an anticipated 300 jobs being lost.
Recognizing the difficulty the province-wide shortage of skilled labour, Yu said there could be opportunities to work mining or transportation sectors. He said the City of Prince George has several unfilled positions for tradespeople who are about to lose their jobs at Canfor. “I will be talking to potential investors in the country and beyond to see if there economic opportunities we can seize upon immediately,” said Yu. “We have no time to waste, if we do not have a program for these 300 families they will put up their houses for sale and move out of town and this will be devastating to the local economy and beyond.”
