The City has partnered with Community Transition Services, led by the Ministry of Jobs, Economic Development and Innovation, to work collaboratively with First Nations, the Employer, the Union and Community Partners to support impacted workers and their families and attempt to ease negative effects for the community. Community Transition Services revolve around three support pillars:
- Worker Transition: to address the needs of the impacted workers and contractors.
- Economic Development: to connect communities and their residents to available resources to help manage the stress and uncertainty associated with economic disruption.
- Community and Local Government: to assist the community in implementing economic development and diversification plans, building on existing work, assets, and partnerships.
Council remains focused and committed to its ongoing work on economic vitality.
