Barwick OSB Mill Sold

A change in ownership for the mill in Barwick, south of Kenora.

Ainsworth is selling off all of its assets, including the Barwick mill to Tennessee-based Louisiana Pacific for one-point-one-billion dollars.

Stevens says sees all of newly acquired Ainsworth's operations as core to LP's future operations.
