Resolute Forest Products is shutting down the newsprint mill in Iroquois Falls, Ontario, a move that will result in the loss of 182 jobs , continuing to erode livelihoods in a town of just 4600.

Like many other single-resource towns in the north, Iroquois Falls is losing its population to larger southern cities. The Agenda looks at the deep structural problems facing our northern economy, and how other small towns in Ontario face the same circumstances.
