Kruger closing Corner Brook mill for 2 weeks

Kruger is closing its newsprint mill in Corner Brook, Newfoundland for 2 weeks starting on October 12th.

The move reflects weak markets and the impact of a high Canadian dollar on the company's export sales.

The mill will resume operations on October 26th.

The cuts will affect 530 workers - 380 in the western Newfoundland mill and 150 in forest operations - for 14 days.
