May 07, 2015. /Lesprom Network/. As a result of log supply constraints and low lumber prices, Tolko Industries takes downtime at Quest Wood sawmill, effective May 4, 2015, as the company said in the press release received by Lesprom Network. 

The company expects the curtailment will be one week in duration but may be extended based on log inventories and lumber price.

"At current pricing levels we are evaluating the operating stance at all of our mills,” said Troy Connolly, General Manager BC Lumber.
