Lahaie Lumber, located in the Municipality of French River south of Sudbury, is receiving a $775,000 repayable contribution from FedNor through FedNor’s Regional Economic Growth through Innovation (REGI) program. The program supports the growth of Canadian businesses, their expansion into new markets and their adoption of new technologies and processes. The funds will be used to purchase equipment for a new sawmill currently under construction.
The International Council of Forest and Paper Associations (ICFPA) has elected Derek Nighbor, President and CEO of Forest Products Association of Canada (FPAC), as its new President.
