Parent company Aditya Birla Group shut down the mill in early January, issuing lay off notices to 400 workers. The centre, located on Selkirk Avenue, is run by the Township of Terrace Bay and will be open until next June 16. The centre will also provide skills upgrading through courses and workshops and offer job search assistance, such as interview skills training, resume building, and access to job postings.
