Shorter Work Weeks Coming To West Fraser’s Williams Lake Sawmill

West Fraser’s Williams Lake sawmill will soon be operating on a 4-day work week. 

Communications Director for West Fraser, Joyce Wagenaar said warmer weather than usual this winter and permitting delays have hampered log deliveries resulting in a temporary supply challenge. 

Wagenaar said employees at their Williams Lake sawmill have collectively agreed to moving to a four-day work week for the next eight weeks as we work through this challenge. 

She added the work week change should begin next week.
