Prince George Pulp moves into maintenance mode

A leak was discovered in the recovery boiler of the Prince George Pulp and Paper mill recently that has forced the company to immediately begin their maintenance downtime that was originally scheduled to begin in April.

After the leak was detected, the mill used their emergency shutdown procedure to safely take the pressurized boiler out of commission, shifting the mill into maintenance mode.

No jobs are expected to be impacted during the estimated 20 days of the maintenance period.

The cause of the leak is not yet known.
