A paper mill in Crofton, B.C., will curtail operations indefinitely within 60 days, leaving about 150 employees without work for the foreseeable future. According to Paper Excellence, which owns the Catalyst Crofton mill, the curtailment is in response to substantial cost increases and a weakened paper market in China, which the mill serves. Paper Excellence said it realizes the hardship this will put on staff. About 150 unionized workers are now without work, according to Paper Excellence. The company says the mill's pulp operations will continue during the paper curtailment.
