Image Credit: SUBMITTED / Google street view April 06, 2021 - 6:00 PM Around 27 people are out of a job with the permanent closure of a Penticton wood products mill. The shutdown of Greenwood Forest Products was announced in a media release late last week by company president Wade Walker. The last day for most employees at the plant was Friday, April 2. A handful of employees will remain to help wind up the business and prepare for an auction. The company blamed the closure on rising lumber costs and a lack of wood supply over the past five years. The mill has been operating in Penticton since 1983.
