THUNDER BAY — More than six months after it went on the market, the Resolute pulp and paper mill in Thunder Bay has apparently attracted plenty of interest, but remains unsold.
For the Thunder Bay mill, though, a Resolute spokesperson has told TBnewswatch that the sale process is continuingIf the mill is sold, the company intends to retain ownership of its sawmills at Thunder Bay, Ignace and Sapawe, as well as its existing woodlands operations which supply fibre to the pulp and paper mill.
"Area pulp and paper mills have been sold, sometimes over half a dozen times each over a number of decades, and the wood basket supplying those mills has almost always been sold as an integral part of each mill. It just raises questions and concerns for our members when the wood supply for the Thunder Bay mill is potentially carved away and under the control of another company."
Coun. Kirsten Oliver, who chairs the committee, said it has worked with Resolute to learn about the implications of the sale and is "pretty excited" about what it's been told. Resolute sold its long-idled Fort Frances pulp and paper mill in 2019 and retained the rights to the timber, which continues to feed its other operations in the Northwest.Thunder Bay-Rainy River MP Marcus Powlowski said he's heard the concerns about wood supply, but after speaking with numerous people in the forestry sector, most seem to feel "it's going to be OK" in the end.
