The hard-hit forest-based community of Mackenzie took another step today towards recovery as its shuttered pulp mill, down for two years, was purchased by Asian-giant Sinarmas.

The company, which made the purchase through its Netherlands-based subsidiary Paper Excellence, hopes to resume production by September.

The mill's new management expects to start calling back its 220 workers in the next week or two.
