Domtar has announced what it describes as the "the indefinite idling" of operations at the Howe Sound Pulp and Paper mill on B.C.'s Sunshine Coast. Domtar has announced what it describes as the "indefinite idling" of operations at the Howe Sound Pulp and Paper mill on B.C.'s Sunshine Coast. Domtar, the company that owns the mill, said operations at the Bayview Fibre chipping facility will also be idled. "We're just kind of in shock," said Andrew Appleton, a tugboat captain at the mill who has worked there for 22 years. "It's something that, you know, I think we all thought that could happen down the road if things didn't get better." "None of us thought it would happen so quickly.” Appleton was at work on Thursday and said everyone was calling their families and loved ones to share the news. "Everybody's just kind of walking zombies right now at the mill, just trying to figure out what their next steps are,” Appleton said. Luc Thériault, Domtars president said "the business cannot overcome reduced demand from Asia, unprecedented and sustained poor pricing for pulp globally, and a decline in affordable domestic [fibre]." He said the business decision to indefinitely idle these facilities is the result of careful consideration and is not a reflection on employees.
