Bass Pro Shops and Cabela’s is axing 54 Winnipeg office jobs, marking the second round of layoffs in five months.

It comes as part of a restructuring the company announced in May, an unnamed spokesperson wrote in a statement.

The latest reduction — which employees learned of Tuesday — accounts for roughly two per cent of Bass Pro Shops and Cabela’s Canadian workforce.

Bass Pro Shops acquired the Cabela’s Inc. chain in 2016. Winnipeg is home to the Canadian corporate office of Cabela’s.

Last May, the outdoor and sporting goods company cut nearly 80 jobs at 25 De Baets St., citing “changing market dynamics.” A spokesperson pointed to the same reasoning for the current layoffs. Further advancing the business was another reason given Tuesday.
