On Friday, Sept. 25, Nackawic Mayor Tim Fox and stakeholders met with Minister of Post-Secondary Education, Training and Labour Jean-Claude D’Amours and Minister of Local Government Aaron Kennedy to chart an action plan for the community. AV Group NB announced that it is temporarily closing the AV Nackawic pulp mill, which employs about 350 people. …D’Amours said “We’re working with local officials, the pulp mill’s union, the employer, and unionized and non-unionized employees to find out what people need now and how we can help in the weeks and months ahead.” The short-term plan is for the committee to coordinate among all stakeholders to support affected workers during the planned closure. Then, they will look for solutions and develop ideas to ensure a quick and lasting economic recovery for the region. “We are pleased with the government’s response and the speed that they are getting things moving,” said Fox.
