As mill demolition continues, the water in Port Alice is back to being crystal blue. Could tourism be the village's next big industry?

Posted: Jan. 26, 2023 10:08PMThe 50-year-old recovery boiler at the Neucel Specialty Cellulose mill in Port Alice came crashing down in a planned demolition on Wednesday morning, marking the latest step in the multi-year effort to clean up the site and return it to Mother Nature.

The Neucel Specialty Cellulose mill, which once produced sulphite dissolving wood pulp, is owned by Chinese company Fulida Holdings. “It was the heart of our village, with the employment, the monies that were generated, the people that lived here, it all surrounded the mill basically,” said Mayor Cameron.Peter Bazille, a Port Alice native, worked at the mill from 1966 to 1988 and quickly moved up the ranks to management, traveling the world to sell the mill’s products.

“The recovery boiler was built so instead of dumping the sulfite spent liquor, the red liquor down into the sewer into the ocean, we recovered it, condensed it and burned it,” he said.
