MACKENZIE — Bad news for the forestry sector in Mackenzie.

This as Paper Excellence has announced the permanent closure of Mackenzie Pulp.

Production at the mill was originally curtailed in June 2020 due to market impacts caused by COVID-19 and a lack of economic fibre.

At the time of the curtailment, the company said 253 employees would be affected.
