“While it has been quiet around the site for the last several years, things have really started to get rolling the past few months, and that’s very exciting for the project and for Prince Albert,” said Kelvin Winge, site manager for Prince Albert Pulp Inc. “With new faces joining the team and working on-site, it’s a great sign that Paper Excellence is ready to get the mill restarted.”

Paper Excellence has also engaged a variety of Saskatchewan-based consultants to help complete the engineering plans and environmental studies required to restart the mill, including consultants at Stantec, Clifton & Associates, Associated Engineering, and Lambourne.

Prince Albert Pulp Incorporated is expected to restart in the second half 2023, employing 200 people and creating over $300 million per year in economic benefits for Prince Albert and all of Saskatchewan.
