City Of Campbell River Supporting Workers In Wake Of Myra Falls Mine Shut Down

The City of Campbell River says it continues to offer support for workers affected by the Myra Falls Mine shut down.

It is sharing a resource guide that was created “in response to community closures and curtailments.”

The Path Forward: Navigating Unexpected Job Loss, is being shared with affected workers, while the City continues to work with partners on additional supports.

It shares guidance on dealing with unexpected job loss and how to look after oneself and a family during times of uncertainty.

The guide was created by the District of 100 Mile House’s economic development team, who shared it with Campbell River following the Myra Falls announcement.

It has been edited to reflect the circumstances for Campbell River and to include local resources and transition services for workers.

Mayor Kermit Dahl says the city will continue working with community partners and other levels of government to provide support to Campbell River’s businesses and residents, “and to prioritize investing in economic vitality, community growth and future planning.”

This document is being shared with affected workers, and is available at City of Campbell River.

Campbell River staff have been working with a community transition team led by the Ministry of Jobs, Economic Development and Innovation.

The team will help lay out a path forward for community members affected by the closure, including workers who were laid off and the many contractors who supported the mine operations.
