Domtar to suspend operations at Maniwaki, Quebec, sawmill in October

CANADA (From news reports) -- The Domtar sawmill in Maniwaki, Que., will temporarily close again next month.

The company, which acquired the mill when it bought Resolute Forest Products in 2023, confirmed Wednesday to Radio-Canada that the indefinite closure will begin Oct. 10.

It cited difficult market conditions and U.S. softwood lumber duties, which rose to more than 35 per cent last month.

About 120 workers at the mill lost their jobs in a previous closure that started in December 2024. The mill reopened for about 50 hours a week at the start of June.

About 3,800 people lived in the western Quebec community as of the 2021 census.
