Pulp & Paper Canada’s Mill Directory is an annual snapshot of pulp, paper and board production facilities in Canada. We make every effort to list all producers and their various manufacturing sites, whether the sites are currently producing or not. To improve clarity this year, we have added information regarding the mill’s status for those that were not operational at press time. The status info, which appears in yellow type, indicates if a facility is indefinitely or permanently closed.
You won’t find personnel listed for closed facilities, but we continue to list the equipment, if, to the best of our knowledge, the equipment is still on site.
In some cases, this directory acts as a record of changes in the industry. For mills that have closed permanently, the mill is listed under its last operating name or the name of
Pulp & Paper Canada
invites you to advise us of any changes in your mill listing.

its last industry-related owner, for two years following the closure. For example, the former UPM Miramichi facilites are still listed under that name, although they were sold and shut down during the course of this year.
I believe these procedures best reflect our changing industry.
We will make corrections to the Mill Directory throughout the year, so please advise us immediately of any changes to your mill listing.

History:
During August 1928, Mersey Paper Company Limited was incorporated and construction of a newsprint mill commenced. Commercial production began on November 27, 1929. In May, 1956, the Bowater Corp. of North America Ltd. incorporated Scotian Paper Co. Ltd. to acquire the assets of the old Mersey Paper Co. Ltd. In June, 1956, the name was changed back to Mersey Paper Co. Ltd. and in 1959 it was changed to Bowater Mersey Paper Co. Ltd. Application was made in September to Provincial Secretary to change the name to Bowater Mersey Paper Company Ltd. with effect on October 17, 1975 (application granted). In 1963, The Washington Post Company, Washington, D.C., purchased 49% of the common stock from Bowater Corp. of North America, now called Bowater Incorporated. Bowater Mersey amalgamated with Newsprint Shipping Services Ltd. on January 1, 1994.

History:
Domtar was incorporated in 1929 as Dominion Tar & Chemical Company Limited, but the organization's roots go back a further quarter of century to 1903 as a British company and the construction of a coal tar distillation plant at Sydney, Nova Scotia. In 1961, a complex multiple-merger involving Dominion Tar, fine paper manufacturer Howard Smith Paper, newsprint maker St. Lawrence Corporation Limited and packaging specialist Hinde & Dauch Ltd. resulted in the formation of one of Canada's first conglomerates. Domtar's name was officially adopted in 1965. Initiatives which helped shape today's dynamic, globally-oriented Domtar included construction during the late 1980s of the world-scale business and printing paper mill at Windsor, Québec. In July 1998, Domtar Inc. acquired from George Weston Ltd. E. B. Eddy the specialty paper company. In July 2000, Ris Paper, the third largest independent paper merchant in the United States. In August 2001, four mills in the United States from Georgia-Pacific Corporation. In August 2006, Domtar signed a definitive agreement to combine with Weyerhaeuser's fine paper business and related assets. The transaction closed on March 7, 2007.

The mill was first constructed in 1893. Through the years, the mill has evolved from a 15 t/d of unbleached sulphite pulp operation to its present day modern 990 t/d bleached kraft pulp. Kraft process was originally introduced as a separate line in 1960. A complete conversion to this process occurred in 1977. In 1996, the mill completed a large modernization and environmental improvement project with the start-up of new brown stock washing and screening, oxygen delignification, additional evaporator and concentrator capacity, and condensate segregation and stripping. In 1998, the mill added reverse osmosis treatment on evaporator clean condensates, and upgraded to two stage oxygen delignification. In 2000, the mill added a moving bed bioreactor on bleach plant filtrates, and upgraded one of the turbogenerators. In 2004, a new green liquor clarifier was commissioned.

The Kipawa mill was built under the direction of C.B. Thorne, by the Riordon Company, started up in 1920, acquired by CIP in 1925, and shut down in May 1972. In 1973 it was acquired by Tembec Forest Products Inc., the result of co-operative efforts of Temiscaming residents, executives and employees, and the Quebec and Canadian governments. Production recommenced on October 1, 1973.

History:
In the mid 1960s an agreement was reached between the Manitoba Development Fund and four companies to construct and operate an integrated forest complex at The Pas, Manitoba. In January 1971, the complex was placed under receivership management by the government and began operation early in that year. On October 1, 1973, a Crown company, Manitoba Forestry Resources Ltd., was created. On October 1, 1984, the name of the corporation was changed to Manfor Ltd. In May 1989, Manfor Ltd. was sold and became Repap Manitoba. In 1997, Tolko purchased the mill.

History:
West Fraser originated in 1955 as a lumber planning business in Quesnel, B.C. From 1955 to 1979 the business expanded in Western Canada through the acquisition of sawmills and related harvesting rights. In 1979 the company established Quesnel River Pulp as a joint venture, which became wholly-owned in 2002. In the following decade it acquired Eurocan Pulp & Paper located in Kitimat, B.C. and in the mid-1990's the company acquired Slave Lake Pulp in northern Alberta. In 2004, through the acquisition of Weldwood of Canada Ltd., West Fraser acquired Hinton Pulp in Alberta and a 50% joint venture interest in Cariboo Pulp & Paper in Quesnel, B.C.

History:
In 1930, the James Maclaren Company built a mill in Masson which commenced operations as a two-machine newsprint mill producing 160,000 tonnes of newsprint annually. The mill used an on-site bisulphite process and received its groundwood pulp by pipeline from a mill 6 km up the Lievre River. In 1985, the mill replaced the two original Fourdrinier machines with a twinwire Beloit Bel-Baie III machine. In 1988, Masson completed a Phase II modernization, which increased the mill's capacity by 30,000 t/y. In 1991, a recycle pulping facility was added to produce newsprint containing up to 20% recycled content. During 1994-1995 an activated sludge secondary treatment facility was installed. In 1997 Nexfor decided that newsprint did not fit into its long term plans and announced that the mill was for sale. In December 1998 an investment group purchased the mill with the intent of modernizing it and renamed it Papier Masson Ltée (PML). In March 1999, the board of directors approved a $150 million modernization project that included the installation of the world's largest single line two-stage TMP plant. The TMP plant started up in July 2000 and groundwood and bisulphite pulp mills were ex-serviced. Today the mill produces approximately 231,000 t/y of high quality newsprint for its customers using 100% TMP. White Birch Paper acquired Papier Masson Ltée in 2006.

British Columbia Forest Products Ltd., (a joint venture of Argus Corp., Scott Paper and Mead Corporation) acquired 66% control of Alexandra Forest Industries in 1963. AFI had been in initial development of its tenure in the Mackenzie Timber Supply Area and the first sawmill was constructed and began operation in July 1966. BCFP acquired total ownership of AFI in January 1967 and in November 1969 announced plans to construct a 450 t/d market kraft pulp mill and a stud mill on the same site. The stud mill, now dismantled, began operation in September 1971 and the pulp mill in December 1972. A third sawmill started up in 1974. A second cooking and brown stock line for sawdust was added in late 1996. BCFP was acquired by New Zealand-based Fletcher Challenge Limited in 1987 and in September 1988 BCFP was consolidated with Crown Forest Industries Limited, another FCL-controlled company, to form Fletcher Challenge Canada Limited. In 1996, FCCL restructured to create separate subsidiaries for pulp (FCC Pulp Operations) and southern solid wood operations (TimberWest Forest Corporation), distinctly separate from the core paper business. TWFC was subsequently divested and it, in turn, acquired the Mackenzie woodlands and lumber operations, TimberNorth, in January 1996 and then sold it to Slocan Norske Skog in June 1997. Controlling interest in FCCL was acquired by Norske Skog in October 2000; Norske Skog in turn, sold Mackenzie Pulp Operations to Pope & Talbot Ltd. in June 2001. The mill shut down in 2008 after Pope & Talbot went bankrupt. In September
2008, Worthington Properties of Edmonton purchased the mill. It was not restarted. The B.C. government took over maintenance of the mill in early 2009.
