PULP AND PAPER 



The year ending March 31, 1965, has witnessed some of the most significant 

 expansions in Ontario's pulp and paper industry that have taken place since World 

 War II. The conversion of the Abitibi Power and Paper Company's Smooth Rock 

 Falls mill from a sulphite to a sulphate process was initiated during this period and 

 will ultimately result in an increase in wood consumption from 90,000 to 160,000 

 cords annually. In addition, investments totalling more than $125,000,000.00 in 

 new projects were announced by Domtar, Great Lakes Paper, K V P, Provincial 

 Paper, Spruce Falls Power and Paper, Dryden Paper, Abitibi, and Bathurst Con- 

 tainers Ltd. As well as strengthening the competitive position of Ontario's pulp 

 and paper industry, these expansions, when completed, will result in an increased 

 pulp capacity of about one half million tons per year and will require between 

 three-quarters of a million and one million cords of additional pulpwood annually.
