Nechako Lumber in Vanderhoof is cutting one of two shifts affecting 60 people as of October, parent company Sinclar Forest Products announced on Aug. 2.
Sinclar said lack of certainty surrounding an economical log supply is the reason behind the decision affecting half of its Vanderhoof employees.
“We are deeply sorry for the impact this decision will have on our employees, their families, and the community of Vanderhoof,” said Sinclar president Greg Stewart.
