Canfor Provides Update After Recent BC Sawmill Closures

On Thursday, Canfor provided an update after its September 4th announcement of the closure of its Plateau and Fort St. John, BC, operations.

Canfor said it remains committed to exploring opportunities to divest some of its northern BC tenure to support other BC manufacturers who are facing similar challenges accessing economic fiber to support their operations.

The company has received indications of interest from several parties and will be considering options and engaging in discussions as appropriate. As per normal business practice, further public disclosure will follow only if and when there is a material event to disclose.
