FORT FRANCES, ON — Fort Frances town council won’t back down from discussing a resolution criticizing Resolute Forest Products and its handling of the sale and possible demolition of its idled paper mill. Community leaders are supporting the efforts of another party that has said it would reopen the mill with a new product line. After Resolute threatened to sue over what it alleges are false and defamatory statements in a council resolution that was to be debated Monday, council decided to defer the matter. On Wednesday, however, the town announced the resolution will be re-tabled for discussion at a special council meeting on Tuesday, February 19. …The town maintains that Resolute’s bidding process creates a big obstacle for buyers hoping to reopen the mill, because they are barred from talking to the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry about a wood supply.
