This is the Pulp and Paper Mill where the guys are working on the shutdown, repairing what has been contracted to do. This is one of the 3 main industries that has provided jobs for the town since the 50's. It is one of the largest in West Fraser Timber's network of mills. It manufactures over 300,000 metric tonnes of Niche product linerboard and 10,000 metric tones of sack draft paper annually. When you see those chip trucks hauling down the road, some of them will be headed for here. The wood chips come by rail as well. This is the mill with a chip truck unloading. There is an immense pile of chips behind it, ready for production.
We also saw 2 people working on a small stream, outside of town, clearing the debris so it would run freely, draining the little lake. They were employed by West Fraser and that was their permanent job.
