Hudbay has reached a long-term camp agreement with the Town of Snow Lake. In a notice to all Hudbay Manitoba Employees the Vice-President of their Manitoba Business Unit Rob Assabqui states after the fire at the old camp located near the New Britannia Mill in the summer of 2019 the Town of Snow Lake worked with Hudbay to set up a new temporary camp.  Over the course of the year they have been meeting regularly with the town council to discuss potentially making this a permanent camp.

Assabqui explains the new agreement spans the life of the Snow Lake operations and involves expanding the footprint to accommodate the relocation of trailers from the old camp to the new camp, establishment of a new permanent dormitory, a new business development park and expanding parking facilities.  In addition he adds Hudbay is supporting the Town with a two million dollar investment in the development of a new thirty lot subdivision in English Bay which will help the town create more sustainable housing solutions for the community.

Assabqui notes this significant milestone provides multiple living arrangement options for their employees and their families as they transition to a larger operation in Snow Lake in 2022.
