Our community
First Nations Partnership
The mill sits on traditional territory in the Bulkley Valley, and three out of every four people on our crew are First Nations. That is not a statistic we chase: it is who we are and where we work.
People first, in plain terms
Roughly seventy-five percent of our crew is First Nations. The jobs here stay in the communities that surround the mill, and the work is steady: trucks in, trucks out, a line that runs. We are about twenty-five people on one yard, and we look out for each other.
We do not treat this as a marketing line. It is the make-up of our crew and the reason the mill matters to the people who live here.
Why it matters to how we work
- Local jobs. Employment stays in the Bulkley Valley communities around the mill.
- Rooted operations. We work the land we are from, milling timber others leave behind.
- Full use of the resource. A hundred percent wood utilization, respecting the wood and the place it comes from.
