Canfor extends BC sawmill curtailment

December 17, 2018 – Canfor Corporation has announced it will be extending its temporary curtailment at sawmills in British Columbia and will be reducing operating hours at some sawmills throughout Q1 2019.

The company says the decision is due to a continuing decline in lumber prices, in addition to high log costs and log supply constraints.

Canfor has 13 sawmills in Canada, with a total annual capacity of approximately 3.8 billion board feet.
