OFIA Predicts Better Times for Forest Industry


Years of hard times in the forest sector may finally come to end in 2013.

That's the feeling of the Ontario Forest Industries Association.

President and CEO Jamie Lim says forestry is ready to make a comeback.

In the past couple of weeks, at least three companies have indicated they would be resuming lumber production soon, including Kenora Forest Products

Resolute Forest Products also announced a 50 million dollar investment in a new mill in Atikokan, and the
Hudson Sawmill also resumed production last week.
