Weyburn's location of North American Lumber will no longer have to close their doors.

Thanks to a Toronto based firm named Mill Street and Company recently purchasing the long-time Weyburn based store, North American Lumber will remain open for business.

"We have been purchased by another company through Toronto," said Kathryn Walker, North American Lumber's Marketing Coordinator. "Their called Mill Street and Company and their subsidiary is Fastway Group. They will be taking effect October 31st. As of right now, we have no notice of changes. Their keeping us as North American Lumber because we've been around for so long. Other than some product changes and some new lines, it's gonna be pretty much the same. I believe they want to keep all of the staff. They just want to make it more of a profitable store and they want to make sure everyone is happy. They want to see more customers coming in and then we can keep going how we've been going."

They will be having a customer appreciation barbecue on August 11th at the Weyburn location of North American Lumber to celebrate their 50 plus years of service to the community. The mayor will be attending the event as well as some Police staff. The funds from the barbecue sales will all be going towards the Weyburn Humane Society. There will also be a pie the staff for charity, various games, as well as in-store sales and prizes.

The celebration will take place from 11am till 2pm.
