Across the country, Parks Canada says it's undergoing a,
quote, workforce adjustment.
More than 2,900 letters have been sent
to employees that their positions are impacted.
That doesn't necessarily mean all
of those people are losing their jobs.
Some of those jobs will stay the same,
some will change, and some will be eliminated.
That's according to a Parks official who also says
that it's expected that roughly 500 full-time jobs will be lost.
So what does that mean for us locally?
Well, Parks Canada has what's called a Southwestern Ontario field unit
with 121 employees spread out between five locations,
Point Pelee National Park and four national historic sites,
Fort Malden, Woodside, HMCS, Haida and Fort George.
Of those 121 employees, 64 have received one of those.
Letters saying that their jobs may be impacted.
Parks Canada won't give us the breakdown
of staffing impacts at each location.
And Parks Canada has declined an interview request.
