Employees

CPLP employs approximately 1159 employees directly, most of whom work at our three pulp and paper mills in Prince George, BC, with a relatively small staff in our Vancouver offices. The mills in Prince George are unionized with 74% of the workforce being represented by two unions, Communication, Energy and Paperworkers of Canada (CEP) and the Pulp, Paper and Woodworkers of Canada (PPWC). The rest of the workforce comprises employees performing Managerial, Professional, Technical, and Administration functions.

CPLP also provides employment to several hundred temporary employees and contractors during its annual maintenance operations. In 2010, CPLP also provided employment for 41 summer students and 12 co-op students. Student programs provide an opportunity for young people to gain work experience in an industrialized work environment while pursuing their education.

We strive to be the employer of choice in our communities and within our industry, both for the men and women who currently work in our company and for those seeking to join a progressive and successful organization.
