$1-M Fund to Help North Through Slump

"It's about saying we want people to stay in northern Manitoba," said Paul Holden, the province's director of industry and workforce development. "When things turn around, opportunities are going to abound."

The mining sector in the North also took a hit last month with HudBay Minerals Ltd. closing its Chisel North zinc mine in Snow Lake, which resulted in 110 job losses.
