Parks Canada plan to cut 500 jobs draws criticism from union

Parks Canada's plan to cut 500 jobs amid a $145-million budget reduction over three years has sparked significant criticism from the union representing the public servants, who described the layoffs as "disappointing." This restructuring comes as the agency faces financial strain, and it raises concerns about the future of national parks' maintenance and visitor services. The union's reaction underscores broader worries about the impact on public service quality and employee morale during times of fiscal austerity.
