Work is set to begin on Western Forest Products’ $16-million project to upgrade its Saltair sawmill into largest single-line facility on B.C.’s coast. Spokeswoman Mackenzie Leine said the equipment has been purchased that will see the mill’s edgers, stackers and sorters upgraded and contractors are now being selected to complete the work. She said construction should be completed by next summer. The upgrades at Saltair, which currently employs approximately 140 workers, is part of WFP’s plans to invest $200 million into its sawmills on Vancouver Island over the next three years.
