Two Laurentian students are contributing to not only the research but also the writing of a book about a Northern Ontario pulp and paper company. Professor Mark Kuhlberg is “an award-winning author whose work primarily focuses on Canada’s forest history,” the university said. “For his most recent project that will delve into the compelling history of Tembec Industries, Dr. Kuhlberg is leveraging the support of undergraduate students Sarah Gould and Fiona Symington. Through this unique collaborative opportunity, the students will help tell the story of a company with deep roots in Northern Ontario’s community and industrial heritage.” …The book will chronicle the efforts of Tembec’s workers, who fought against the mill’s closure in the 1970s by forming a unique partnership among workers-turned-entrepreneurs, the local community, and various levels of government. …The book, which is supported by Forest History Ontario and an angel donor is expected to be published late 2026.
