Kingston, Ontario

INVISTA is eliminating more than 100 jobs at its Kingston, Ontario facility starting June 21, 2026. The workforce reduction is expected to be completed by August 2, 2026 as part of a restructuring initiative to reduce costs.

Queen's University's Faculty of Arts and Science laid off four Chemistry department staff members in July 2025 due to budget cuts, including positions for a Computer Network Administrator, Technical Support Assistant, Electronics Technician, and Chemical Stores role. Five additional FAS support staff had their positions eliminated but were reassigned to new roles within the faculty, as part of broader cost-reduction efforts.
