Adjustment Committees
Community Adjustment (October 2011)Where there is evidence of downsizing within a community, a community adjustment process may be implemented. The Adjustment Advisory Program of the Ministry of Training, Colleges & Universities (MTCU) works with a Community Adjustment Committee (CAC), which addresses the future sustainability for the area. Marathon's CAC has a one-year mandate and will be developing a multi-functional action plan for the broader community as a whole that will include:
Marathon's CAC includes representatives from several public sector entitles and also from various sectors including small business, seniors, mining, health services, education and Pic River First Nation. Organizations or individuals interested in participating on a sub-committee to work on one of the projects identified above or interested in finding out more about the functions of the Committee are invited to contact: Marathon Committee Adjustment office Carolyn Burton-Owen, Coordinator Melanie Bouchard, Assistant |

The Marathon Labour Adjustment Committee was formed to assist people being laid off due to the closure of Marathon Pulp Inc. (MPI) to move toward suitable re-employment or other satisfactory options. One of their functions is to operate an Action Centre to provide services such as job search assistance, outreach to affected workers, personal support in dealing with the stress of job loss, financial counselling, etc.
