The San Group 's operations in Port Alberni are facing intermittent disruptions due to a log shortage , affecting about 75 workers. The large-log mill, which was temporarily shut down in mid-October, has been running inconsistently since then. Kevin Somerville, the vice-president of operations, stated that supply is inconsistent, leading to periods of operation and downtime. The remanufacturing plant , which initially closed for two weeks, has since been operating at reduced capacity.
The company purchases logs from Vancouver Island and the Central Coast, facing tight supply from various factors including wildfires and red tape. The province has also placed liens on the company's Port Alberni sawmill lands for $22 million in unpaid stumpage fees
