The District of Vanderhoof will begin meeting with representatives of various provincial Ministries and agencies to assist community members affected by the Canfor Plateau shutdown. The Province of BC has developed supports for workers, communities and First Nations to offset economic impacts from changes in the forest sector. The goal of the meetings is to transition staff to other jobs using known employment opportunities, apply grants and funding to training programs and to help with health or mental health issues that may arise.
Affected workers are encouraged to review The Path Forward – Navigating Unexpected Job Loss
