September 2, 1965 -- The "Open House" at the MacMillan Bloedel and Powell River Aspenite plant proved to be a huge success, as over 500
persons from Hudson Bay and surrounding communities turned out on Sunday, for conducted tours.
Members of the plant safety committee were in charge and tour
parties were kept small enough that the tour leaders could explain each
step of the operation.
With all Departments operating, visitors were
able to observe the entire process of turning Aspen logs into Aspenite
from the time the logs entered the debarker, until they emerged
from the press in 4 x 16 sheets.
