The 84-year-old owner of the Brink Group of Companies has made a proposal to Canadian Forest Products to buy its mill operations and timber harvesting rights in Bear Lake, Vanderhoof and Fort St. John and also acquire Canfor’s forest tenure in Houston. If it pans out, this could lead to over 600 jobs in the region.
Crazy that someone can buy a full mill. MULTIPLE mills. If I go to those places, I can buy some stuff and the bakery in Vanderhoof…In Houston a ticket to see the worlds largest fly fishing rod, mostly because that’s free…and I can try and spend money on a ticket to see world class chicken racing in fort St john, but I would fail because I always get Fort St john and Fort St James mixed up.
