Tolko Forest Industries has scheduled two weeks of downtime for its central British Columbia operations over Christmas (December 18 - January 4).
Other companies, including Canfor, have planned a similar schedule of downtime.
Tolko said the curtailment is due to weak product prices, an oversupplied market and efforts to control costs. The scheduled shutdown will reduce lumber production by about 52.5 million board feet, and panel production by 6.4 million square feet.
