HIGH PRAIRIE, Alberta — Alberta Occupational Health and Safety has approved a phased approach to accessing Tolko’s High Prairie site following the fire on May 20, 2022. On May 26, tradespeople were allowed on site to start restoring power to areas that are unrestricted, and on May 30, operations teams will be able to start clean-up in unrestricted areas. Damage and repair options are being evaluated, and it is anticipated that it will take several weeks to determine the detailed repair plans and the timing for a restart. During the downtime, the mill will be shipping out its existing products and Tolko will re-direct incoming logs from High Prairie to its To division near Slave Lake, Alberta.
