Canfor is closing its pulp mill near Prince George, British Columbia, eliminating approximately 300 jobs, according to reporting from both outlets. The Winnipeg Free Press and Vancouver Sun describe the shutdown as part of the company’s efforts to respond to current market conditions affecting pulp production. Canfor cites global oversupply in the pulp market and a shortage of locally sourced fibre as key factors behind the closure. The decision affects mill operations in the Prince George area and the workers employed directly by the facility, with the reported job losses concentrated around the mill’s workforce. Both articles treat the closure as a significant regional employment impact, tied to Canfor’s assessment of supply and demand economics for pulp. No outlet provides a detailed timeline for the closure within the information supplied here, nor do they offer differing figures or alternative explanations beyond Canfor’s stated rationale. Overall, the sources agree on the basic facts: Canfor shuts the pulp mill near Prince George and the action results in the loss of roughly 300 positions.
