We are plugging along, knee deep in snow in all areas that are key to our CML fiber flow targets. CFP logging areas have been buried in snow and ice long enough; we need a good rain. We have managed to keep on logging but at a reduced rate; more to the issue, we have been in 3rd party wood. BP3B and CL15 have been a great filler. BP3B is complete at this time.

We managed to get some of this fiber to the mill, just not enough. Wayne has had to supplement our production with outside purchases for the first time in a long time.

Heli logging will start in Cataract the last week in February in CL36, CL21 and the water drop block BP21. Hopefully, this will open things up and help the snow disappear.

Mayco's movie making entourage has departed for home, all in good health, assuring us they had a great experience and a good time. They will forward the finished product at a later date. I believe it is scheduled to air in England in July.

Stewardson is coming along okay, still too much snow to complete the engineering. We will have to hit the engineering hard once the snow goes. We are targeting the 2nd week of March. Most road permits are in and some cutting permits. Target start dates have slid a bit due to weather.
