I have family members wi have gone up north for a job in popular area for tourism from may to Oct. It is almost impossible for Stagg to find places to stay to work. My family member and partner who will both be working there along with family member of her partner. Couldn't even find a campground with a seasonal pass as most have a 2 years waiting list. We have a trailer and we're going to put it on the owners cottage property so they could live this year but that is not allowed in cottage country for more than 7 days. So the owners of the business have given up their cottage and will live on their boat when they come so that staff can run their business. Letting business down and staff as the town cant see the bigger picture in order for people ro work in the town they have to have a place to stay. Last year when we visited the town most stores were closed and most owners of businesses we talked to say getting staff is a problem especially with living accommodations. My family member has taken a position that will be April to December. But will be in a rooming situation probably ly for years with no solution in sight to more affordable living in cottage country for staff.
