Canada Sawmill Production, April 2016
Canadian softwood production was 5.4 per cent higher in April compared to 2016, said StatsCan Wednesday.
Production of softwood lumber at BC sawmills was 2.1 higher in April than in the same month of 2015. Ramped-up production from the Interior, up 2.4 per cent, where most of the province’s mill activity occurs, was behind the overall increase, as mills in coastal regions saw very little change, up 0.1 per cent.
