SIOUX LOOKOUT – Northwest Employment Works (NEW) has opened a new office at Confederation College’s Sioux Lookout campus.

Supported by Employment Ontario, NEW’s Sioux Lookout office provides comprehensive employment services to students, job seekers and employers in the area.

The office has experienced “a steady stream of inquiries about our services” since opening in early April, manager Brad Mesich said Wednesday.

The range of services includes career counselling, job search assistance, and training opportunities.

Mesich said the NEW office is poised to become a central hub for employment support in the Sioux Lookout area.

“This effort is a testament to the dedication of many, including the invaluable contributions of Sioux-Hudson Employment Services, whose hard work and dedication from 1982 until earlier this year have laid a strong foundation for employment services in our community,” he said.

“We are grateful for their legacy, and we’re excited to build upon it.”

Confederation College has similar NEW offices in Thunder Bay, Dryden and Marathon.

“Our government is focused on delivering the highest quality employment and training services for the people of Ontario and this office is a step in ensuring job seekers, businesses and communities receive the services they need,” David Piccini, the province’s labour minister, said in a news release from the college.

Further information is available at the NEW website, northwestworks.ca.

Shell-led LNG Canada has begun testing its C$40-billion British Columbia terminal ahead of commercial operations starting in mid-2025. The terminal will process up to 2 billion cubic feet per day (bcfd), representing 11% of current Canadian gas output.

Canadian miner Hudbay sees BHP's bid for Anglo boosting copper assets
The CEO of Canadian miner Hudbay Minerals said BHP Group's $39 billion offer for Anglo American has increased the valuation of copper assets and could underscore companies' willingness to pay a premium to buy existing copper mines. Hudbay expects to launch a formal sale process for a minority stake in its Arizona Copper World project in the United States later this year after already holding talks with companies. BHP offered to buy Anglo last week, though Anglo rejected the proposal that would create the world's biggest copper miner, saying it undervalues the company.

UPDATE 1-Ahead of Xi visit, Chinese share of French EV market slumps
French government efforts to slow an influx of Chinese-made electric vehicles are bearing fruit, industry data show, highlighting one of the most sensitive trade issues when China's president visits next week. A surge in imports of Chinese electric cars into Europe has triggered EU tariff threats, which are expected to be a bone of contention when President Emmanuel Macron hosts his Chinese counterpart for a state visit on Monday. France did not wait for a European Union decision on implementing tariffs, instead redesigning its cash bonus scheme in December to exclude the purchase of models made in China, which had rapidly gained market share.
