VANCOUVER, British Columbia — Canfor Corporation has completed the subdivision and sale of its Forest License in the Mackenzie Timber Supply Area equally to the McLeod Lake Indian Band and the Tsay Keh Dene Nation.

“Building on our long-standing relationships, Canfor is pleased to have reached this arrangement that will expand the Nations’ participation in the forest economy and stewardship of forest resources in the region,” said Stephen Mackie, executive vice president of North American operations. “We believe this agreement will support improved fiber access in the TSA and generate significant economic benefits for local and regional communities.”

Total proceeds from this tenure sale and the previously announced disposition of associated Mackenzie sawmill assets are $69 million.
