Forestry Announcement Expected Today for Atikokan


Atikokan will get a visit by the president of Resolute Forest Products today.

Richard Garneau is scheduled to make an announcement that Mayor Dennis Brown says in an email will mean jobs and industry for his community.

The nature of the announcement has not been disclosed, but there's speculation in the community that Resolute plans to construct a new sawmill on the site of the former Buchanan own mill at nearby Sapawe.
