Dion's Mixed Bag

摘要

Scierie Dion has acquired the assets and wood supply of a former AbitibiBowater stud mill, and invested $15 million in its own mill to saw both hardwoods and softwoods on the same line. The Portneuf region of Quebec was not spared what is known locally as the province's "forestry crisis." Located among the picturesque mountains just northwest of Quebec City, the region's centre is Saint-Raymond. The town of 10,000 survives on forestry and a smattering of tourism centered on hunting, fishing and snowmobiling.
