Western Forest Products' Port Alberni mill closes as company seeks viable path

Posted: Jan. 27, 2023 10:31AMMore than 100 workers in Port Alberni are the latest forest-industry employees to face layoffs as Western Forest Products confirms it will not restart its sawmill in that Vancouver Island city. The Western Forest Products Inc. logo is shown in this undated handout.

Is there any coal there? Lol

That’s fine… Just keep shipping those raw logs and jobs over seas.

get into mass Tree Planting initiative perhaps
