Community Services Guide
Posted on: Jan 29 2010 - 10:11am
The recent announcement that West Fraser is permanently shutting down its Eurocan operations in Kitimat means that residents in the Kitimat-Terrace Valley will face some challenges as jobs are lost in the region.
The District of Kitimat, City of Terrace and the RuralBC Secretariat, along with many community partners, have been working together to develop a Transition Strategy in response to the announcement. This strategy is aimed at finding ways to help displaced workers from Eurocan and other businesses affected by the closure.
This Guide was designed to create one source of information for special programs, employment services, community and social services, worker adjustment and retraining opportunities in Terrace and Kitimat. There is also information about government funding and financial services.
The Kitimat & Terrace Community Services Guide is sponsored by the Province of British Columbia through the Ministry of Community and Rural Development, Community Development Trust, and by Northern Savings Credit Union through its Community Reinvestment and Corporate Responsibility Initiative. We gratefully acknowledge this financial support.
We sincerely hope this information will guide you to the experts who can help. Together, we can move forward to the future.
Dave Pernarowski - Mayor, City of Terrace
