'A good facility in a good location,' says Canfor Pulp president
That’s because the company says ongoing lack of fibre supply in the Peace region has made the business of making chemi-thermomechanical pulp unviable for the local facility — formally ending last week 35 years of production in the small community of 1,300 along the Peace River.
“I would hope we would find a solution very quickly but, at this point, it will really be determined by how quickly we can figure out what else we might do there and then how quickly we might be able to execute," he said. It’s the second pulp mill to be shuttered so far this year in northern B.C.; the pulp line at Canfor’s Prince George pulp and paper mill will be permanently closed at the end of this month. Last week’s news also follows on January’s announced closure of the sawmill and pellet plant in Chetwynd, to shut down in April, due to what Canfor says is, again, a lack of fibre in the region.
Despite the lingering uncertainty for the mill's future, Taylor Mayor Brent Taillefer is hopeful to see it fire back up in some fashion. “Canfor Taylor Pulp has always been a good member of our community and we’ve always had a good relationship with them. If there’s something we can assist them with, we certainly would,” he said. “If another proponent comes forward, we would certainly look to have the same relationship with had with Canfor Taylor Pulp.
