The human resources department also laid off one food service worker.  Chief human resource officer Maura McKinnon said the facility only has 40 of its 80 beds occupied, and the layoffs are due to the reduced capacity.  Due to the current decline in the number of veterans residing at Ridgewood Veterans Wing, Veterans Affairs Canada has aligned their funding levels to the number of veterans cared for at the facility, McKinnon said in a statement to CBC News.
