Tolko’s Soda Creek mill in Williams Lake to resume operations on Monday

Great news for employees at Tolko’s Soda Creek and Armstrong Lumber Divisions.

The company announced it will be resuming operations on Monday (March 6th).

Communications Advisor Chris Downey told Vista Radio, the planer at each location will run a single shift for the first week to build up inventory and both mills should be back to full production the following week.

Tolko announced in December, a temporary curtailment for the month of January that extended through February.

It impacted 350 employees at the two locations, including around 180 at the Soda Creek Mill in Williams Lake.
