Forestry is still a major employer, but a lot of the people who lost their jobs in the sawmill and pulp mill moved on to Fort McMurray and oil field work, remotely—away from Campbell River. We see a lot of people at the airport there, commuting back and forth. They're working 14 and seven, if they're lucky.
It took a lot of people out of our community. I flew out sitting next to a guy whose family had lived in Campbell River for a really long time. He moved to Fort McMurray 15 years ago.
