"Domtar Washington Court House is a paper converting and distribution facility that cuts various sizes of copy paper and rolls to send to customers across North America and Canada. We have been in Washington Court House, Ohio since 1999 and have always tried to play an active role in our community. One opportunity we saw to help was by sponsoring this meeting. We've had Billy Parker speak to the employees at our plant years ago and decided that now would be a good time to bring him back since we have many newer employees that have not heard his story. In organizing that and looking at the schedule for the Safety Council this year, we saw an opportunity to have Billy share his story with everyone in the council in hopes that it may benefit the workplaces in our community and the employees that work there."
