Hi listers,
Dora,

Are you talking about the Wayagamak paper mill? If so, my husband's family
(men), few of them worked there in the years 30s and 40s. I think it
belongs to Kruger now. They also bought the smell surrounding the mill.
Apparently when you live there, you don't smell it no more. My husband was
born in Trois-Rivières.

Louise
