The bad news just keeps coming in B.C.’s beleaguered forestry sector.
Conifex Timber has announced that it is temporarily curtailing operations at its Mackenzie sawmill.
The company blames continued high log costs and poor lumber market conditions for the two-week shut down starting July 29, 2019.
Canfor recently announced the indefinite curtailment of its Mackenzie sawmill citing similar concerns.
Last week, Fort St. James declared a state of local financial crisis in the wake of the closure and sale of the Conifex sawmill in that community.
