Canadian Tire to lay off 1,200 workers amid economic woes


One of Canada's largest retailers, Canadian Tire, announced on Tuesday that it will reduce its staff by 3% as part of a cost-cutting strategy amid a challenging economic environment.

 The company said the layoffs will affect about 1,200 employees across its various divisions, including retail, automotive, and financial services.

Canadian Tire's president and CEO, Greg Hicks, said in a statement that the company is confident in its long-term growth prospects and remains committed to delivering value to its shareholders, customers, and employees.
