Question:
Generally would a non competition clause in an employee contract remain valid when the employer terminates the employee for lack of available work (ie. employer lost a major contract and had to lay off employee).
Thanks!

It will depend upon the full facts and circumstances - check with a local lawyer.
If the former employer is no longer in the line of business to which the noncompete applied, it becomes more likely that a court would release you from the agreement or that the employer would do so voluntarily if asked.
No in this case the employer will remain in business
