A B.C.-based paper company says more than 100 workers will return to one of its mills on Vancouver Island after $50 million in upgrades were announced at the site.
Paper Excellence Canada curtailed operations at its mill in Crofton, B.C., in December, and now many of the workers affected by the curtailment will be recalled later this month.
Other upgrades include modifying the mill's boiler to use more waste bark fuel instead of natural gas, which is expected to reduce more than 26,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions each year, or the equivalent of taking about 5,600 cars off the road annually. Ottawa is providing $14.3 million in funding for the project, while the province is contributing $4.5 million.
Moving forward, the company hopes its new upgrades will help diversify its products and increase its footing in the market.
