B.C. Government weighs in on next steps for Tolko closure in Merritt

What comes next for Merritt, now that the Tolko sawmill is shutting down?

 That was the subject of a meeting yesterday between the mayor of Merritt and some provincial government officials.

Jackie Tegart is the MLA for Fraser-Nicola.

She says the first priority is to focus on workers and families, then to look at the impact the mill closure will have on the community as a whole, and finally the last priority will be looking at economic development and what opportunities can be identified for the community.
