Merritt mayor upset Tolko keeping forest license despite leaving
MERRITT, B.C. — The mayor of Merritt is pushing back against the B.C. government and Tolko Industries, which, despite leaving Merritt last year, still has its license to harvest logs in the community.
In the four months since Tolko’s closure, the company has been still logging there, but the logs aren’t staying in Merritt, instead following Tolko, which is supplying its other mills in the province.
