Castlegar, BC
Located on the Columbia River in Castlegar, BC, is this 102-acre site, next to the Celgar pulp mill. Acquired in 2008 from Pope & Talbot, the Castlegar Division produces dimensional lumber. With a low-cost log transport system on Arrow Lake and shipping by truck and rail, Castlegar ships to markets within Canada, in the US, and offshore.
The sawmill underwent an extensive capital upgrade in 2015, and a significant planer capital rebuild project was completed in 2022.
