Not great news. Oddly, Fujifilm.ca in Mississauga, Ontario(a westend Toronto 'burb)was quietly processing C-41 for several supermarket chains until a few years ago. Process and scan-only was dirt cheap. Now it's apparently only photo coffee mugs and calendars. So few Frontier labs still operating meant service crews shrunk drastically. Huge warehouse filled mostly with air and their digital camera inventory and service facilities. Tiny staff.
