Hampton Affiliates and B.C. Jobs Minister Pat Bell say

Hampton Affiliates and B.C.  Jobs Minister Pat Bell say the Babine Forest Products mill in Burns Lake, B.C., will be rebuilt, if certain conditions are met. A fire destroyed the sawmill in January, and the lives of two employees were lost. Workers injured numbered 19 and 250 people were put out of work. The final decision on the rebuild will be made by year’s end. Conditions to be met include ensuring an adequate timber supply, and agreements with the community of Burns Lake and First Nations.
