CEP Administrative Vice-President Wendy Sol says Tolko has committed to keeping the operations open for a least a year in view of the wage roll back.

550 people would have been thrown out of work in the town of 5,000 had the mills been shut down. The employees had earlier rejected a wage roll back.
