Andrews will remain on the Board as a Director and to assist in the transition of management responsibilities.
Kirkpatrick was formerly with Norampac, a division of Cascades Canada Inc. and Domtar Packaging where he held various and increasingly challenging line and staff management positions. He is a former Chairman of the Paper and Paperboard Packaging Environmental Council (PPEC), a position he held for four years, and he also served on the Board of the Packaging Association of Canada.
