Economic Crisis hits the Crowsnest Pass

Local tub manufacturer shuts down facility



Bad news for the Crowsnest Pass and proves again that none of us are immune to the Economic crisis that is spreading across the world.



Arctic Spa will no longer be manufacturing hot tubs in the Crowsnest Pass.



"Oct. 31 the facility ceased production and approximately 15 people were let go. A skeleton crew of approximately six people will remain for about another month until all remaining product is sent out. "



The company had already released most of its staff back in the early summer."On June 6, Arctic Spa laid off 40 employees and retained a small staff of 20 due to economic conditions."



Its a sad day any time a community loses jobs weather it be a few or lots.
