    Record correction 2026-10-22: process type changed from kraft to CTMP. The Alberni-Clayoquot Regional District's mill history dates kraft pulp production to 1947-1993 and CTMP production from 1989; Domtar's 2025 10-K describes Port Alberni as its one mechanical paper mill. The mill makes its own mechanical pulp and buys chemical pulp.
