Why it matters
In mountain towns, housing is often the reason people turn jobs down or leave. CPKC said it was moving about 125 rail jobs from Revelstoke to Kamloops because many staff had asked to transfer or resigned over the cost of living, especially housing. Helping new hires find a room quickly makes it more likely they arrive, and stay.
