Canfor Corporation says sawmill, pellet plant north of Prince George expected to close early in the second quarter of 2023
Canfor Corporation says it is “restructuring” its operations in British Columbia, permanently closing one sawmill and shuttering another for an extended period amid plans to build a new wood manufacturing facility.
Canfor says preliminary engineering and budgeting for that project are under way, and the company will conduct a “comprehensive evaluation” of the availability of fibre to support the facility, making a final investment decision by the end of June. “Our goal is to match our mill capacity with the economically available fibre for harvest,” his statement said. “This is what will ultimately create greater stability for our employees and communities.”
Canfor representatives did not immediately reply Wednesday evening to a question about the number of jobs affected by the closures.
