Tembec is halting all harvesting activities in Northeastern Ontario until November.
The decision will temporarily affect about 100 employees mainly in the Hearst and Kapuskasing area.
There is a sufficient supply of logs to meet production requirements given the stockpiles already in mill yards and in bush inventories. Tembec says the harvesting suspension is another indication of the serious state of lumber market conditions, driven primarily by the dramatic fall in the number of housing starts south of the border.
Tembec is active in the Hearst forest and has equal ownership with Kruger in Marathon Pulp.
