Irving Paper Team Gives New Books to their PALS at Glen Falls School’s Literacy Night

One of Susan Gionet’s favourite days of the year? Delivering new books for young students at Glen Falls school in Saint John. Watch the video to see why:

The books go to Glen Falls School Literacy Night, hosted annually for parents and students. “We have family-friendly, fun activities for parents and students planned,” said Jill Nylen, Community Schools Coordinator at Glen Falls. “With the help of Irving Paper and their donation of books and prizes, this will help our students build their home libraries.”

“We are always thankful for our partnership with our Irving Paper PALS,” she said. “Their willingness to support our students and our school is overwhelming. It’s nice to have a partnership where our students benefit greatly.”

The internationally-recognized PALS (Partners Assisting Local Schools) program began in 2000. Co-founded by Mr. J.K. Irving, the program aims to help break the cycle of poverty by partnering local businesses and community groups with neighborhood schools, with a focus on academic achievement and a positive learning environment, and providing enriching opportunities for children both in and out of school hours.

Irving Paper is one of over 150 PALS and community partners supporting more than 20 schools in The Saint John Education Centre. JDI has dedicated over 70,000 hours of volunteer time to making a difference in the lives of local children.

Norske Skog Meaningful progress with holders of the NSF facility and the Perpetual Notes

Norske Skog has over the last few days made meaningful progress with the holders of the EUR 100 million NSF facility and the majority holder of the 2115 Perpetual Notes towards find a mutual acceptable solution where these financial instruments are included in the consensual recapitalization of the Norske Skog group. If a solution is achieved, Norske Skog will have received indicative support from the requisite majority of all relevant financial instruments in the Norske Skog capital structure. Due to the need to include a solution for the NSF facility and the Perpetual Notes in the overall recapitalization proposal, a new consent solicitation to the secured and unsecured noteholders will need to be launched. It is not anticipated that the updated consent solicitation will include any material changes to the terms set out in the current consent solicitation statement. As a new consent solicitation will have to be launched, the current consent solicitation will not be extended and will therefore expire on 3 November 2017 at 17:00 CET.
