Note: The population decrease in the last 10 years is attributed to the 1999 closure of Inmet Mine in Schreiber (150 direct jobs lost) and downsizing at the pulp mill in Terrace Bay (300 direct jobs lost since 2000). However, it is estimated that the population will increase as the census was taken after a temporary mill shutdown and the population is believed to be higher. Also, stronger employment is expected at McCausland Hospital, Terrace Bay Pulp Inc., Canadian Pacific, the regional mining sector and the new National Marine Conservation Area. For example, Terrace Bay Pulp Inc. restarted in September 2006 with 350 employees and subsequent hiring has continued to February 2008 of 420 employees.
