Resolute Forest Products says it will assist workers affected by the company's decision to idle, indefinitely, its kraft mill and a paper machine at its Fort Frances mill.
As many as 239 employees are expected to be laid-off by next February.
Spokesperson Pierre Choquette says they are hoping to mitigate the impact as best as they can.
Some employees may be eligible for early retirement packages while others may be offered employment at Resolute's other operations.
Production at the kraft mill and paper machine number 5 is expected to come to a halt by the end of this month.
