The restrictions on temporary foreign workers have only made the situation worse. We’re hiring anything and everything, and when we lose the temporary foreign workers, it means that our Canadians are now overworked and burnt out and will not stay in our remote rural communities.”The restrictions on temporary foreign workers announced by the federal government last year have already impacted other businesses in Tofino, Samantha Hackett, executive director of the Tofino Chamber of Commerce, said. “If people are concerned about big numbers of temporary foreign workers, let’s look at the international mobility program as well,” she said. It’s an emotion that resonates with Gildenhuys in Tofino, who said it will be a struggle to run his restaurant next summer without temporary foreign workers. “It’s extremely worrisome and disappointing because for us, the temporary foreign workers program has been really successful,” he said.
