Rolling out with a full load on Vancouver Island ๐Ÿš›๐ŸŒฒ โ€” these trucks donโ€™t just haul logs, they help carry the weight of local economies. 

From mill jobs to small-town businesses, forestry keeps a lot of wheels turning around here. 

Whatโ€™s your connection to the industry? Whether youโ€™re behind the wheel or grew up in a logging town, weโ€™d love to hear your story. ๐Ÿ‘‡

Today, we bow out heads for the loggers who never made it home.
Fathers, brothers, sisters, friends, and coworkers - gone too soon from a job they gave their all to.

Logging is more than a career - its a way of life. But it is also one of the most dangerous jobs out there. Behind every tee felled is a worker who puts everything on the line. And sometimes, that cost is unbearably high.

We remember them not just with silence, but with purpose - by fighting for safer practices, better protection, and a future where no family has to get that call.

Another day, another load on the landing! ๐ŸŒฒ๐Ÿ’ช 

The grapple yarderโ€™s swinging logs in, and the log loaderโ€™s stacking them upโ€”teamwork at its finest. 

Steep ground, long pulls, and big timberโ€”just another day in the woods! ๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿšœ
