Sault College has declared eight full-time support staff positions redundant, with written notice of reassignment provided to affected employees, reports CTV News. Sault Director of Communications and Stakeholder Relations Staphanie Pagnucco told theSault Star that up to six workers could be laid off when the cuts take effect in 90 days, but the final number will be determined after the layoff and bumping process. In a recent statement, the college attributed the decision to “unprecedented financial constraints,” including a projected $5.6M deficit for 2025–26, reduced international enrolment, frozen provincial tuition and grants, and rising operational costs. Prior cost-saving measures included voluntary departures, hiring and salary freezes, and the suspension of approximately 20 programs.
