U.S. oil producer ConocoPhillips will begin layoffs at its Canadian operations in the first week of November, according to a memo seen by Reuters on Thursday.

Employees in Calgary will be notified on November 5 virtually, and those in Surmont and Montney will be told in person on the following day, three sources told Reuters, citing the memo.

ConocoPhillips employs 950 people in Canada, according to the company’s website.

“We will not be sharing area-specific workforce numbers for current or impacted employees and contractors,” ConocoPhillips spokesperson Dennis Nuss said in an email.

Air Canada is reducing management staff positions, the airline told CTV News in an email Thursday.

A spokesperson confirmed that non-unionized management positions, amounting to “around one per cent” of the airline’s staff, were affected.

“As a global company, Air Canada regularly reviews its resources and processes to ensure they are optimized to efficiently support business operations and its customers,” reads a statement from spokesperson Christophe Hennebelle.

Hennebelle added that the positions will not be replaced.

“Following an extensive review, we arrived at the difficult decision to reduce some management positions.”
