The Resolute sawmill near Atikokan has over 30 Ukrainian workers, and more are en route
SAPAWE — The newest employees at the sawmill in Sapawe have travelled thousands of kilometres from Europe to make a home for themselves in Northwestern Ontario.
"I really like this job ... I have experience in management, and here I also have supervisory duties. But it's all new for me. After four months, I'm still learning. I always pick up something from the very experienced people who work here." "Since then it's kind of grown," Ouellet said. "Some of our employees from Ukraine are referring friends, family members, and friends of friends ... direct-sourcing. We have social media, and we have folks in Ukraine supporting us."
Bakal plans to stay, saying he appreciates all the help and support he's received from the community of Atikokan, from his co-workers, and from Resolute management. "I have a lot of experience working in big factory facilities...this company provides a very big effort for safety measures. I have never seen this before," he said, noting that the sawmill recently celebrated a five-year milestone without injuries.
