Interfor announced the indefinite shutdown of its sawmill in Nairn Centre on April 22, 2026, resulting in 129 mill workers losing their jobs along with dozens of loggers and truckers. The closure threatens the economic viability of the 320-resident community that depends heavily on the mill.

Laurentian University terminated 195 employees and axed 69 programs during its insolvency restructuring under the Companies Creditors Arrangement Act (CCAA) in April 2021. More than five years later, terminated employees began receiving severance payouts in June 2026, receiving only 25% of what they were originally owed.
