Behind the SceneS
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 make it clear which mills are operating, we’ve added a “Status” statement to the listing (in blue type) when a mill is partially or completely shut down.
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

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 16, 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.

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 print-
ing 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.

History:
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.

History:
British Columbia Forest Products Ltd. In November 1969 announced plans to construct a 450 t/d market kraft pulp mill and a stud mill on the same site. The pulp mill began operation December 1972. BCFP was acquired by New Zealand-based Fletcher Challenge Limited in 1987. In 1996, FCCL restructured to create separate subsidiaries for pulp (FCC Pulp Operations) and southern solid wood operations (Timber West Forest Corporation), distinctly separate from the core paper business. TWFC was subsequently divested. 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 mill was purchased by Paper Excellence in 2010 and restarted in August of that year.

History:
The Whitecourt pulp mill began operation in 1988 as a two-line state-of-the-art BCTMP mill. It consistently ranks among the safest mills in Canada.
In February 1994, MacMillan Bloedel Ltd announced its intention to divest itself of its pulp manufacturing and marketing organizations. To facilitate this, Harmac Pacific Inc was formed. In January 1998, Pope and Talbot acquired 53% of the company’s outstanding common shares. In January 2000, Pope & Talbot increased its holdings to 60% of the company’s oustanding common shares. In January 2001, Pope & Talbot acquired the remaining outstanding shares and Harmac Pacific Inc. became Harmac Pulp Operations, a division of Pope and Talbot Ltd. The mill shut down in May 2008 after Pope & Talbot went bankrupt. In August 2008, Nanaimo Forest Products purchased the mill. About 200 Harmac workers returned to work.

After a 10 month shutdown, the mill resumed production in October 2006. The Port Hawkesbury Mill and the other mills of Stora Enso North America became part of NewPage Corporation in December, 2007. NewPage Corporation has 7,800 employees in North America, of which 570 are located at the Port Hawkesbury Mill in Nova Scotiathe only Canadian operation.

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.

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 twin-wire 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 250,000 t/y of high quality newsprint for its customers using 100% TMP. White Birch Paper acquired Papier Masson Ltée in 2006.
