West Fraser cuts back mill production

VANCOUVER — West Fraser Co. has announced its intention to permanently close its Chasm lumber mill and eliminate the third shift from its 100 Mile House lumber mill, both to occur during the third quarter of 2019. The closings were attributed to timber supply constraints owing to B.C.’s growing Mountain Pine Beetle infestation, recent record wildfires, price declines in lumber markets and high saw log costs.
