Ignace Saw To Reopen In July

Bowater says it is business as usual as the forestry company nears completion on renovations of its Ignace sawmill.
Bowater spokesman Roger Barber says Ignace Saw is slated to reopen in July, re-establishing 63 lost jobs.
Barber adds the company has already factored the Canada-US softwood lumber dispute into its plans, so any proposed duties will not hamper plans.
Meantime, the new Bowater mill in Thunder Bay is expected to be completed this fall, in partnership with Fort William First Nation.
