Employees getting notices

2,917 employees

Parks Canada says 2,917 employees will get notices in the coming weeks that their positions will be affected by workforce adjustment, in a second round of cuts.

The department expects to cut about 500 full-time equivalent positions. It employed 4,773 people as of Mar 31, according to the Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat.

Our focus on visitor service, conservation, and enabling memorable experiences remains unchanged.
