Chamber sees Wynndel Box and Lumber-Canfor deal as positive

The Creston Valley Chamber has weighed in on Canfor’s recent purchase of Wynndel Box and Lumber.

President, Rob Schepers says it’s a good thing and he’s excited.

He says Canfor’s promise of more jobs may not mean “new” jobs.

Schepers says a major impact to the valley will only be seen if Canfor steps up production at the sawmill.

Wynndel Box and Lumber produces premium boards and customized speciality wood products under the brand name Wynnwood.
