Premier Scott Moe used forestry development along with the promised building of a new hospital in Prince Albert to highlight growth and development in Saskatchewan as part of a State of the Province address on Monday. The re-opening of the pulp mill in 2023, the building of a new OSB mill north of the City along with upgrades in Big River and Carrot River are all part of a historic increase in forestry investment, he said. “We are on the cusp of what will be the largest expansion of the forestry industry this province has ever seen,” said Moe in a Facebook Live stream of his speech. In 2020, Saskatchewan produced an all-time record of $1.1 billion in forest products, an increase of 30 per cent and 2021 is shaping up to be an even better year, he stated.
