A total of 61 positions have been eliminated by the Atlantic Lottery Corporation.
Forty-three of them were in New Brunswick, seven from Nova Scotia, seven from Newfoundland and Labrador, and the remaining four from Prince Edward Island.
President and CEO Chris Keevil says Wednesday’s internal restructuring was a step forward in an effort to be able to maximize profit return to provincial shareholders in the long term.
He says they are facing business challenges requiring the organization to urgently transform, and COVID-19 has accelerated the need.
Keevil adds, “Atlantic Lottery players have shown a greater demand for digital services – and we are listening. We look forward to benefitting from added capabilities such as data analytics and digital craft, as we continue investing in new products and solutions to meet our players’ needs.”
