According to Interfor Corporation (HQ: Vancouver, BC), they will be indefinitely curtailing operations at their Nairn Centre and Gogama facilities.
Per their official statement, “Interfor has made the difficult decision to indefinitely curtail operations at its Nairn Centre and Gogama facilities due to ongoing weak market conditions. Like many others in our sector, we are navigating a combination of persistent market headwinds and the continued impact of U.S. trade actions, including softwood lumber duties. These pressures have made it increasingly difficult to operate certain facilities in a sustainable way. We recognize the impact this has on our employees, their families, and the broader community, and we are working with these stakeholders as this decision is implemented.”
