Bowater Transition Team Calls For More Public Input

Brooklyn, N.S.

The group trying to help transition former Bowater employees into other jobs is encouraging them to continue the flow of thoughts, ideas and concerns. More than 300 people lost their jobs back in June when the Brooklyn mill closed. The Transition Advisory Team has produced an open letter to communities updating its work and what its learned so far. Team Chair Ron Smith says its a challenging time for many of the laid-off Bowater workers.



Smith is advising everyone affected by the closure to get in touch with his team. The toll free number is 1-855-354-2612 or you can write an email addressed to bowatertransition@gov.ns.ca or you can visit or write to the team's office at 7 Henry Hensey Drive in Liverpool. B0T 1K0. You can also visit the team's website at  novascotia.ca/bowatertransition/.
The open letter can also be seen at the transition team's website and in the local newspapers.
