Canfor’s Northwood pulp mill: operations have resumed following labour disputes 

Canfor Pulp Products has confirmed operations at its Northwood Pulp Mill in Prince George, Canada, have resumed following labour disputes at the British Columbia ports.   

A spokeswoman for the company confirmed to TWM production at the NBSK-producing plant had started again in the week beginning 17 July, following a tentative agreement in the labour dispute.  

On 13 July, Canfor temporarily curtailed production in Prince George due to the ongoing labour disputes at the British Columbia ports.   

It said the curtailment was due to limited storage space for pulp products that cannot be transported overseas because of the ongoing labour dispute.  

The downtime removed around 11,000 tonnes of market kraft pulp per week.
