The Financial Post reports in its Saturday edition that unable to secure financing,
ailing Skeena Cellulose has begun to shut down forestry operations in BC,
according to the company. Reporter Keith Damsell says the end of operations
means the loss of about 2400 jobs along the northwest coast of BC, where the
company is the largest employer. Tom Boughner, v-p of pulp operations in Prince
Rupert, says the company is out of money to continue running and it will be shut
down by the end of next week. On June 27, the Prince Rupert pulp mill will end
operations. During July, sawmills in Terrace, Hazelton and Smithers will close. On
March 12, the company, formerly known as Repap BC, issued an ultimatum to
unionized employees and the provincial government to accept a restructuring plan
or the company will be forced to shut down. So far, BC has proposed some fee
cuts that will save the firm about $20 million annually, but union leaders have
refused to cut staffing levels by 30 per-cent over the next three years.
