In an industry dominated by high-tech sawmills … a small mill in Valemount is the exception… At Cedar Valley Holdings mill virtually every unit of wood in every cedar log entering the mill, including their frequently rotted cores, gets turned into product…. It’s precisely the sort of value-added operation that Premier David Eby told Forests Minister Ravi Parmar should be the goal in BC’s forest industry. Yet the mill … is in trouble. …logs it could use are taken to Prince George where they are thrown into a chipper to make wood pulp. …the logs being chipped come from forests licensed to the Valemount Community Forest, whose mandate is to “promote small and value-added manufacturing”. …The high concentration of community forest logs in the hands of the major companies indicates that those companies do not have enough logs available to them from their own forest licences and are making up the shortfalls with community forests’ logs.
