All of the sawmill equipment is still in place, and probably still in operable condition. There is no vandalism.

Operating under the name of Isabelle Bros., the sawmill opened in 1976. It was owned by the Isabelle family, consisting of seven brothers and their father. They operated the sawmill for over 15 years, and made a few modifications along the way. But in the early 1990s, they lost their chip market and that put a severe strain on the company. In 1993, most of the brothers were bought out, and a new company, Excel Forest Products was formed. The company was bought by Tembec in 2001 and this mill was closed in 2005. The closure put 78 people out of work and contributed to the demise of another small northern Ontario community.
