City Hall generic

 

North Bay Mayor Al McDonald was asked about the decision by Canada Bread to close its operation in North Bay in August.

He says he has talked to officials in North Bay and Toronto.

McDonald says they explained their rational for the decision to close the local operation.

The mayor says he conveyed the city’s economic development department is offering its services for the affected workers.

McDonald says its frustrating to hear news that 62 people are losing their jobs in a couple of months.

He says it’s an ongoing battle to create jobs and to keep jobs and council will keep moving forward by being pro active in job creation.
