Workers at Northern Ontario On Call Centres in both Cochrane and Timmins are temporarily out of work due to the closure of both call centres. The On Call Centre in Timmins opened in late 2001, but the inability to secure clients for the outbound call centres has resulted in a temporary closure, officials say. The lack of clients, coupled with maintenance of building and utility costs, have made it difficult to remain cost efficient, officials say.
Timmins-based TeleTech, an inbound call centre, recently announced they have established a client and will be opening the call centre, hiring 600 employees.
