Community Transition Services

Community Transition services are available to rural and remote resource-based municipalities that are facing severe economic dislocation as a result of anticipated or actual corporate decisions to downsize, relocate or close facilities permanently.

Community Transition services provide one window access to the provincial government. Transition services assist community leaders, industry, the Province and other interested parties to develop and implement a co-ordinated response to industry downsizing or closure.

The goal of transition services is to assist a community to establish financial viability, and in turn, socio-economic resilience. Transition services are driven by the expressed needs of the community, and the processes are led or co-led by community representatives.
