Richmond, British Columbia

London Drugs announced the elimination of approximately 80 full-time and part-time supervisor positions across its retail chain in B.C. The restructuring affects nearly every store location and represents the company's first major workforce reduction of this nature.

Tree Island Steel, a Richmond, British Columbia-based wire and fabricated wire products manufacturer, implemented a 27% workforce reduction in response to a sharp revenue decline in 2025. The downturn was driven by lower U.S. volumes amid expanded U.S. tariffs, resulting in full-year sales falling to $161.8 million from $207.0 million and a net loss of $5.3 million.
