Weyerhaeuser Co. Ltd. has reopened its oriented strand board plant in Hudson Bay, Saskatchewan, that it had closed in July of 2008, leaving 140 people without jobs.

Dave Ferguson, the town's economic development officer, said two of the four shifts are back to work at Weyerhaeuser.

He also said it will take time, but the majority of the plant's workforce is expected to be recalled.

Ferguson says production volume will be limited this year and will be based on demand and other economic factors.
