I was surprised as well. When I lived in Kapuskasing, it seemed like most people were moving to Timmins, as it was doing pretty well with gold mining.
Kap also got nailed with the Agrium phosphate mine closure, the shutdown of the Experimental Farm and the completion of the Lower Mattagami Hydro project. I was shocked to hear it held steady.
