Chapleau's sawmill is shutting down temporarily.
Rayonier Advanced Materials says it is curtailing production at seven Canadian locations, reducing or ceasing operations at all of its softwood sawmills in Ontario and Quebec - including the RYAM Lumber mill in Chapleau - with a full halt of production at its newsprint plant in Kapuskasing.
It's scheduled to last at least two weeks, but the company adds that may be extended "depending on market conditions", adding existing orders will be filled from current inventory and reduced production at the Kapuskasing sawmill.
Mill operations had been exempted from the provincial government's closure order, considered "essential".
