Weyerhaeuser says its prepared to wait as long as it takes for a
Co-operative Forest License to be developed for the Whisky Jack Forest.
The new license was supposed to be ready by April 1st, but negotiations
with Grassy Narrows are on-going.
Wayne Rosnowski is a spokesperson for Weyerhaeuser and says while they need the fiber from the Whiskey Jack forest for their I-Level Timberstrand Mill in Kenora, they're continuing to work
with the MNR and area first nations.
In the meantime, the Minister of Natural Resources confirmed this week
that Weyerhaeuser will continue to have access to wood from the Kenora
Forest for the timberstrand mill.
