Wood Rights for Northwestern Ontario First Nation

A First Nation north of Thunder Bay has accepted a wood supply offer from the Province.
The deal means Whitesand First Nation, near Armstrong, can proceed with building a new forest products facility.
Whitesand will use the wood to build a sawmill, a 3-megawatt co-generation facility and a plant to manufacture clean-burning wood pellets for energy production.
The facility is expected to be completed in March 2013 and will create up to 42-new jobs.
