PTI Group Inc. laid off 170 workers at its west-Edmonton and Nisku plants, which produce workforce accommodations for use in remote sites.

The laid off workers were employed at two divisions of the company – PTI Noble Structures and PTI Travco Modular Structures.

These plants normally employ a total of 500 workers.

The reason for the layoffs is the slowdown in the oil sectors and project cancellations in Alberta’s oilsands.
