B.C. Vows to Fight Unfair U.S. Duties Amid Sawmill Closures

  • B.C.’s forests minister pledged to combat unfair U.S. tariffs following Canfor Corp.’s announcement of two sawmill closures in northern B.C., affecting around 500 workers.
  • The closures were attributed to high U.S. tariffs, low lumber prices, and challenges accessing economically viable timber.
  • The province aims to support affected workers and boost local timber and B.C. wood manufacturing access.
