Nairn & Hyman Township Mayor Amy Mazey says it is a tough time for the community, but they are resilient and confident that with time and effort, the community will move forward. Mazey and township CAO Belinda Ketchabaw attended a closed-door roundtable meeting last Friday to discuss how the community can move forward with the impending closure of the Interfor Nairn sawmill and planer, followed by a town hall meeting later in the day. She says MP Jim Belanger, MPPs France Gelinas and Bill Rosenberg, and surrounding municipal leaders were joined by employees, where she reported on efforts made to support those workers. Mazey adds that this includes raising awareness with ministers at the FONOM meeting, a recent job fair, and local resources available to assist them. Interfor is in the process of selling off the last of its stock before it closes the mill operations indefinitely. Up to 250 workers are affected.
