A dispute over wood rights should have a resolution within the next several weeks, Natural Resources Minister David Ramsay said.

According to a report by Miner and News, Kenora Forest Products is seeking to implement an expansion plan at its local mill, a move that is expected to add a total of 250 jobs to a region that has recently lost 440 positions due to the forestry crisis. Concurrently, First Nation Communities want to protect their traditional lands, the report confirmed.
