Rolling out with a full load on Vancouver Island ๐๐ฒ โ these trucks donโt 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.
Whatโs your connection to the industry? Whether youโre behind the wheel or grew up in a logging town, weโd love to hear your story. ๐

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.
