West Fraser will be reducing production at its Williams Lake, BC, sawmill from five days down to four days for the next two months, The Williams Lake Tribune reported (4-10-25).
“Warmer weather than usual this winter and permitting delays have hampered log deliveries, resulting in a temporary timber supply challenge,” said Joyce Wagenaar, director of communications for West Fraser.
Wagenaar said employees collectively agreed to adjust to a four-day work week for the next eight weeks to address the supply issue.
Wagenaar did not attribute the reduced work week to the ongoing trade dispute.
