Create new opportunities for employment
The CLCFC and partners in the forest industry work together to ensure log supply to local value-added processors, which keeps jobs and value in the south Island region. Raw logs go to a Cowichan Lake sawmill; high quality logs go to the pole mill in Ladysmith; logs make their way to the veneer plant in Nanaimo and chips and sawdust go to pulp and papers mills in Nanaimo and Crofton.
Watch the video at the bottom of this page; it visually shares this cooperative strategy.
The CLCFC and Pacheedaht First Nation applied for and received a land-based Community Forest Agreement with the Ministry of Forests.
Pacheedaht First Nation will have its own specialty sawmill and they obtain part of their log supply from the new forest agreement.
The Cowichan Forest Coop helps create new employment opportunities across Canada! There are a number of different areas where we help build careers for Canadian Residents.
We are excited for you to learn more about us through our video.
