Meanwhile, BC’s Jobs Minister says all but one of the workers injured in April’s explosion at Lakeland Mills in Prince George is out of the hospital.
Pat Bell says the mill owners have re-opened the planer mill portion of the site. He says now the mill’s owners are working through the decision about whether or not to rebuild, “You know, ultimately the win group will be the ones that will have to make the decision but I think all of the right elements are in place for a positive decision, but we will let the CEO make that decision and his Board.”
Two workers died in the explosion, more than twenty others were wounded.
