MLA calls for strong response following Houston mill closure announcement

The provincial government and Canfor both have a responsibility to the workers that’ll be out of a job when the company closes its Houston sawmill in April, says the Independent MLA for Nechako Lakes.

“This really takes me by surprise,” Rustad said of the Jan. 25 closure announcement that was not accompanied by an immediate commitment for a rebuild. “You need three things to have a sawmill. A workforce, access to the fibre supply and the capital to run the operation.” Topping his list is having the province establish the right conditions so that a rebuild decision makes economic sense.
