VANCOUVER — Forestry giant Canfor is cutting back on its operating schedules at its BC sawmills, with the exception of WynnWood.
It starts next week and as a result, Canfor’s B.C. mills are expected to operate at approximately 80 per cent of production capacity and operating schedules may continue to vary as economic conditions warrant.
“Due to challenging market conditions, we are implementing reduced operating schedules at our B.C. sawmills that will remain in place until demand and pricing meaningfully improve. We recognize the impact that volatile lumber markets have on our employees, contractors and communities and we will make efforts to mitigate the negative effects,” said Stephen Mackie, executive vice president, North America, Canfor. “We will also leverage our global operating platform to minimize disruptions in supply to our customers.”
