Resolute Set For Paper Machine Shutdown

The last operating paper machine at Resolute Forest Products mill in Fort Frances will go silent at the end of the month.

The company says paper machine number 5 will stop running January 31st because of poor market conditions.

Spokesperson Xavier Van Chau says it's not certain when or if the machine will run again.

About 150 employees will be impacted, leaving about 60 other workers to manage operations afterwards.
