Tolko to rebuild High Prairie mill
Print

CANADA (News release) - Tolko's High Prairie team is continuing to work hard on the clean-up effort following the serious press fire that occurred at the mill on May 20, 2022. The damage to the press and press building was significant, and much of the equipment was a total loss.

Tolko will be rebuilding the site and replacing the existing press line. The project is still in the preliminary engineering phase, so timelines may shift, but the early estimate is that the mill will see the first new board before the end of Q4 2023.

The old press has been removed and crews will be reconstructing the building for the winter months so that work on preparing the plant for the new press can begin. Along with the repairs, there are several upgrading projects unrelated to the fire and significant maintenance work underway on site. This includes the recent installation of equipment that was repurposed from Tolko's decommissioned Kelowna mill.

Tolko is a leading manufacturer of a wide range of forest products, including lumber, plywood and veneer oriented strand board co-products, biomass power and a growing number of specialty wood products.
