Mosaic Forest Management Announces Operations Restart

Nanaimo, BC  ̶  With improved market conditions, Mosaic is resuming operations with the priority being on a safe return to normal levels of operations with due consideration to provincial health guidelines related to COVID-19.

Weather permitting, most of our contractors’ 2,000 workers will be returning to work in the coming weeks across our operations and logs will start to flow to local mills, supporting thousands more jobs. Market conditions will be monitored going forward and adjustments to our operations will be made accordingly.
