Yakabuski Glad To See Forestry and Lumber Supported by Provincial Funding

Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MPP John Yakabuski is thrilled to see the province supporting the forestry and lumber industry.

This comes after it was announced that Ben Hokum and Sons Ltd. would be getting $5.5 million from the province over the next five years. Yakabuski says this industry is a huge part of Ontario’s economy.

Yakabuski also says he worked with the sawmill during the application process for the funding.

Ben Hokum and Sons opened in 1956 in Killaloe and will employee 106 workers after it gets the funding.
