Residents of Nackawic-Millville are on edge this week as the future of the local pulp mill, the community’s largest employer, appears increasingly uncertain.
The mill owner, AV Group, told the provincial government that it is “evaluating all of the strategic options for their mill and its operations,” according to Natural Resources Minister John Herron.

“We heard it’s not going good,” said Leo Cook, whose grandson works at the mill.
