There is more bad news for Tolko employees.
Following on the heels of a planned total shut down of the Kelowna plant, the forestry company has announced a slow down for all its BC operations.
In press release issued Thursday, the company said “following a thorough examination of all contributing factors including log costs, market conditions, and cumulative policy burden, Tolko announced today that its BC operations will be taking two weeks downtime from Dec. 21 – Jan. 6 during the holiday season.”
The last day of production will be Dec. 20.
In addition, Tolko’s Vernon Office will be closed the week of December 23–27 and staffing levels at all BC operations will be restricted to essential services during the temporary shut down.
Troy Connolly, vice-president, solid wood, says the downtime is a result of low prices and high log costs in BC.
