Kimberley, B.C. trying to lure Fort McMurray workers

The city of Kimberley in B.C. is launching a plan to lure Fort McMurray workers.

The Kimberley Daily Bulletin reports that representatives from the city and its businesses are planning a road trip here next month.

They’re hoping to convince oil sands contract workers to make the Kootenays their home while they work at site.

They say with flights now running to the Canadian Rockies International Airport, the time is right to recruit.

They’ll be presenting an open house on November 24th.
