  "account": "A New Brunswick mill is set to lay off hundreds of its workers in November, according to the union representing them. Unifor warns that the closure of the AV Nackawic mill will devastate the lives of 228 people and deal a significant blow to the local economy. The mill, owned by the India-based Aditya Birla Group, is a crucial economic force for the rural community of Nackawic-Millville. Natural Resources Minister John Herron confirms that the company will idle its operations temporarily. The government is currently formulating a response plan to aid those most affected. The Aditya Birla Group has not yet commented on the matter. This news is reported by The Canadian Press, originally published on September 17, 2026.",
