MONTREAL — Canadian National Railway Co. told employees this week it plans to relocate its operations in Jasper to near Hinton , Alta., about 100 kilometres away.
"CN has made the decision to implement operational changes to improve network fluidity," regional vice-president Nicole James said in the memo. "And for the workers who've already lost so much — some even their homes — this is a truly cruel blow." "These types of changes take time to fully plan out and implement. That’s why one of our initial steps was to have this discussion with our employees as well as advising the town of Jasper," she said in an email.
With roots as a fur trade outpost, Jasper launched as a railway town in the early 20th century after tracks built by the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway — CN's predecessor — paved the way for the municipality.It's been a year of challenges for JetBlue. But the airline believes it can turn the corner with new premium offerings, a focus on leisure travel, and strategic cost-cutting.The incident occurred at the Letcher County Courthouse, Gov. Andy Beshear said.
