Skeena Sawmills in TerraceBC announces temporary closure
Skeena Sawmills is closing down for an unknown length of time as of Feb. 8, citing high operating costs, lack of a secure fibre supply and weak markets combining to make its operation uneconomical.
More than 150 people are affected, a number that grows when factoring in the mill’s logging contractors and other suppliers. The mill has been trimming production since late last fall, again saying high operating costs were affecting its economic importance.“We are using this downtime to undergo a comprehensive evaluation of our economic fibre supply and develop innovative solutions to provide sustained success for our business and community,” said Sandra Wu, Skeena’s president and chief executive officer.
