Terrace Standard - The last run to Eurocan

Terrace Standard - The last run to Eurocan
ON FRIDAY Jan. 22, after nearly 17 years on the road with Excel Transportation Inc. Mark Penner completed his last wood chip run to the soon-to-be-closed Eurocan.

With his truck loaded from Pacific Inland Resources in Smithers, Penner hit the ever-familiar Hwy37 South towards the pulp and paper mill in Kitimat which will make its last paper tomorrow, and officially close Jan. 31 after 40 years of operation.

“A lot of people don’t know what they’re going to do,” said Penner of his fellow workers who will be out of a job this Friday Jan. 29 when the Terrace Excel terminal will close its doors after 24 years of service.
