Former Tolko employees looking for other work at Merritt job fair
KAMLOOPS — It’s been exactly a month since 203 employees were laid off from the Tolko mill in Merritt, which officially shut down December 16.
The sudden closure served as a shock to many of the workers, some of who are now scrambling to find another job. Dan Hutchison is already looking ahead to his next career, a month after losing his job at Tolko.
“My hope is, if I can get this course, they have VSA here in town, possibly being able to stay in Merritt,” said Hutchison.
