An Errington mill, which shut down after 30 years of operation in December 2019, has fired up again. Ninety per cent of the laid-off staff were rehired at Errington Cedar Products, and co-owner Steven Orcutt called day one “positive.” Orcutt’s late father built the mill and he owns the property with his siblings. After it underwent foreclosure in October, it eventually went to auction. Orcutt said after going back and forth, he decided … to buy it — he teamed up with co-owners Gus Sangha and Bob Aulakh to make it happen. “We actually waited right to auction day, me and Gus and Bob all sat down and on auction day we said, ‘well, let’s just do it,’ so we ended up buying it all back,” said Orcutt. …Rather than sticking with western red cedar and yellow cedar products, they’ve made the move to branch out, and he feels hopeful about the direction they’re taking.
