The Mt. Waddington Region is marketing itself to attract skilled workers to live and work in the district.

Waddington to deliver an education and training strategy to support forest sector workforce retention and attraction.
The Regional District of Mt. Waddington has launched an education and training strategy to support forest sector workforce retention and attraction.
