M.L. sawmill planning to rebuild
A busy sawmill in Meadow Lake has plans to rebuild this summer, following a fire that caused damages to part of the facility in January.
NorSask Forest Products CEO Al Balisky said the company is targeting August to complete its rebuild, so production can return to total capacity.
“We will get ourselves back up and running to full capacity as soon as we can,” he said. “We are hoping to be back up by August.”
The company, owned by Meadow Lake Tribal Council, is still operating at 25 per cent capacity, since the time part of the plant was burnt in a fire January 12.
