Today was the Grand Closure of Weyerhaeuser's Kamloops sawmill.

To recognize the event and draw attention to the plight of the forest industry, the United Steelworkers (USW) union is holding a rally at 2 p.m. outside the sawmill plant’s gates.

Billed as a Grand Closure event, the rally will feature a barbecue and guest speakers, all to give a proper farewell to the 200 jobs provided by the mill.

The closure of this sawmill was announced in February.
