Looked further into it and found that a CRTC renewal application for CFJC was submitted at the end of 2023.

The repeater at the far end of the valley was shutdown due to cost and maintenance and that now explains why my reception got worse since now I have to pick it up from a tower behind a mountain, but it also notes the license is not up for renewal again until 2028, so that may be the cutoff.
I am however still getting reception in the middle of the city.
