Wapawekka Lumber will be adding a kiln to its small-log sawmill operation near Prince Albert.

The lumber company - a partnership between the Lac La Ronge Indian band, Montreal Lake Cree Nation, Peter Ballantyne Cree Nation and Weyerhaeuser Canada - has been operating since early 1999.

Funding for the new kiln is coming from Indian Affairs and Northern Development. The department recently announced a $1.6 million investment in the sawmill expansion project. The addition of a kiln will allow the sawmill to dry its own lumber.
