While the world has been hit with a global lumber shortage, don’t expect more clear-cutting in our region.
President and CEO of the Ontario Forest Industries Association Ian Dunn says there has been a global spike in demand for dimensional structural SPS lumber. This lumber is typically used for home building, which has skyrocketed during the pandemic. However, Dunn says the impact on lumber mills in the area will only go so far. Because of the greater diversity of timber in the region, like red and white pine, SPS lumber only makes up a portion of the total output. Items like utility poles, decorative panels and doors are a large portion of production in the Opeongo Highlands. Dunn says there is less fluctuation in the prices of these products.
