Petro-Canada has started laying off up to 200 full-time employees in its oilsands division specifically related to its stalled Fort Hills project, the Herald has learned.
The company, which announced last month it was merging with oilsands giant Suncor, confirmed the layoffs started yesterday and are expected to continue over the week.
"Looking ahead there's going to be less and less work and we're in a situation where, unfortunately, we have more people than we have work," Petro-Canada spokeswoman Kelli Steven told the Herald.
