Looking for a job?
Minister of Agriculture Lana Popham says COVID-19 has resulted in a shortage of between 6 and 8 thousand seasonal agricultural workers.
"For example, in the Okanagan we do have a need for labour in the vineyards. We don't necessarily want somebody right off the street walking into a vineyard and practicing viticulture skills, so they will need some training there."
Popham says farmers in BC are in a tough spot and the need for labour is at the top of the list.
