Jan 23, 2023 | 4:56 PM

PRINCE GEORGE — Sinclar has announced temporary production curtailments at its lumber operations at Apollo Forest Products in Fort St. James, Lakeland Mills in Prince George, and Nechako Lumber Co. in Vanderhoof.

The company says they will last two weeks, starting January 30.

“There are factors outside of our control that are having a detrimental impact on our business,” said Sinclar President Greg Stewart. “Regretably, it is necessary to curtail our lumber operations at this time.”

Weak market conditions and constraints on an economical fibre supply are having a significant negative impact across the B.C. forest industry.
