Next year, the Truck Loggers Association is celebrating its 75th anniversary. Formed in 1943, the TLA was created to give independent timber harvesting contractors a collective voice in the changes taking place in society and the forest industry. Guiding the TLA over its 75 years has been the fundamental belief that a strong and sustainable working forest will generate long-term prosperity for the people of B.C., and that the people who work in our forests should share in this prosperity. …Significant anniversaries like this one encourage reflection. In response, we’re writing a book that looks back over our 75-year history.

The book is in production now and will be available at the TLA convention in January.
