very bad news for McBride
both Valemount and McBride have been sold out by the BC government
The timber in these communities should be processed in them not trucked to the big centre's
The closing of the sawmills basically takes the heart beat out of the community
You can see the effects of a sawmills closing, even when the sawmill went on strike was a big deal when i grew up in Valemount
Do you mean the private corporations that owned the mills sold them out?

no i meant what i said the private corporations sold them but the buyer of the mills should had to have the timber processed in the community and not allowed to haul the logs four and five hours to saw mill. In the bigger mills. Pretty hard for a small town to have much of a future with out a major employer in town.

Was visiting with the owners today and they have plans to open a temporary restaurant in their ski lodge building on the same property within a couple of weeks. Theyre also hoping to be rebuilt and operating by next summer ;)

The grizz is the place at the edge of town right? If so it is an awesome place for dinner. Just wish we had found it sooner.
