There will be a couple of rallies Friday in northwestern Ontario for the Forestry National Day of Action.

One will take place in Dryden the other in Thunder Bay.

Unifor says forestry workers in the region have faced a mill closure at the Ear Falls sawmill and the effects of the current climate of the industry is affecting other mills nearby.

Events are taking place in more than 30 forestry communities across Canada on the same day.

The one in Dryden will take place at Cooper Park starting at noon.

The Thunder Bay rally will also take place starting at 12:00 at the Kraft Mill parking lot on Neebing Avenue.
