WFP to curtail operations at Chemainus sawmill beginning June 18

Western Forest Products will curtail operations at its Chemainus sawmill starting June 18 due to a shortage of viable logs and market conditions, according to North Cowichan Mayor Rob Douglas.
The curtailment will impact about 55 workers at the mill, as stated by Douglas.
Mayor Douglas and Nanaimo Mayor Leonard Krog urged the province to increase the annual timber harvest, noting the importance of the forest industry to local economies.
Douglas expressed concerns about the forest industry's viability due to softwood lumber duties, U.S. tariffs, and declining limits on timber harvesting.
