Bowater Mersey is back to full capacity

The Bowater Mersey paper mill in Queens County, Nova Scotia, has returned to full capacity.

Dave Coles, president of the Communications, Energy and Paperworkers Union of Canada that represents 258 workers at the mill said "the export market has solidified a bit. We’re starting to be a little cautiously optimistic."

The Bowater Mersey mill is co-owned by AbitibiBowater and The Washington Post. The mill is not operating under bankruptcy protection like AbitibiBowater's other mills.
