New conservation initiatives must account for working forest areas and fibre supply

On May 19, six First Nations and the federal and provincial governments signed a historic agreement to protect a large portion of BC’s Central Coast. …Meanwhile, the Ministry of Forests is moving forward with its Forest Land Planning (FLP) process with seemingly little to no coordination with the [conservation] work being done by the ministry of Water, Land and Natural Resource Stewardship (WLRS). …BC is currently harvesting less than half of its 60 million cubic metre allowable annual cut. The reasons are many and complex but essentially come down to poor prices and tariffs in the key US market, high industry operational costs resulting from a large web of new regulations, and a critical shortage of economically accessible fibre. These factors have resulted in mill closures, job losses, and dramatically reduced government tax revenue, all at a time when the province is facing large budget deficits and record debt.
We need government to take the forest sector crises seriously, and take urgent and decisive action to streamline regulation, reduce crippling industry costs, and provide the fibre supply certainty required to reattract investment in our province. Instead, we have a situation where the forests minister is mandated to increase harvest levels to 45 million cubic meters (with little progress), while our WRLS minister has a mandate to protect an additional 10% of our public land base, even though we already exceed 30×30 targets. This makes no sense and shows a lack of leadership from the premier, who is prioritizing the interests of environmental activists and urban voters over the real economic needs of working British Columbians. Our government’s lack of focus on the economy is driving away business investment, hurting British Columbian’s pocketbooks, and creating a welfare state saddled with debt. This is not a legacy our premier should be proud of.
If China is exploiting gaps in USMCA to skirt U.S. tariffs, the antidote is not American greed

China will be front and centre at the renegotiations of the USMCA on trade despite not having a seat at the bargaining table. …With the USMCA now subject to annual reviews, the US is using the continuing trade talks to put pressure on Canada and Mexico to collaborate with its efforts to undercut China. Washington is alleging that China is exploiting loopholes in the USMCA to avoid US tariffs on its exports by using Mexico and Canada to gain back-door entry to the US market. But there is a difference between blatant customs fraud and legal shipments facilitated by third countries as part of global trade. The US, however, appears intent on blurring that distinction… providing Washington with a convenient pretext to fiddle with the USMCA’s rules of origin and compel more US content to the detriment of the two other signatories to the pact.

Curtailment at Western Forest Product’s Cowichan Bay sawmill expected to last through September

Western Forest Products says a curtailment at its Cowichan Bay sawmill is expected to last until this fall. The curtailment began on May 11, affecting 54 employees. On Wednesday, WFP told CHEK News it currently expects the curtailment to remain in effect through September. The forestry company says the curtailment is due to “persistently weak market conditions” and that it is trying to mitigate impacts on employees by “providing work opportunities at our other operations where possible.” “Conditions are being monitored closely, and we will keep employees informed should the expected duration change,” said Western Forest Products. The curtailment in Cowichan Bay comes as an indefinite curtailment continues at the WFP sawmill in Chemainus. The Chemainus sawmill was curtailed in July 2025, affecting approximately 120 workers, and in January it was announced that the curtailment was expected to last for all of 2026. [END]
The US has formally declined to renew the USMCA trade agreement for a further 16 years. While existing tariff-free trade terms will continue, the decision triggers annual reviews until the agreement expires in 10 years. President Trump openly views the agreement as detrimental to US manufacturing, placing the burden of concessions firmly on Mexico and Canada. But as today’s chart shows, Canada has a much lower reliance on the US than Mexico, and the Carney administration is taking active steps to diversify its export base further. Exports from industrial sectors subject to tariffs – metals and auto – have fallen sharply, but the hit to activity is limited, as these account for just 2.5% of GDP. …Adjusted for a shrinking working-age population, production in these sectors has picked up. …Goods exports to the US make up close to one-third of Mexico’s GDP. Canada’s share is also high at 15%, but has fallen over time.

BC has seen lower timber harvests and lumber and lumber exports. …BC exported 2.5 million m3 of softwood logs in 2025, a trend that has been in place since 2022. …BC lumber exports have always focused on the US market, with 64% of production and 76% of total exports directed at the US in 2025. But with US duties and tariffs totalling over 45%. the volumes started to drop in 2025 Q4. Total BC lumber exports in 2025 were 5.1 billion bf, a drop of 12% from 2024. Lumber exports to the US were 3.83 billion bf in 2025, a drop of 14.3% from 2024. …In the first quarter of 2026, total BC lumber exports were lower by 20.1% compared to 2025 Q1, with exports to the US down by a whopping 24.7% (the bite of US duties and tariffs is evident), lower to Japan by 17.7% but higher to China by 10%. It will be challenging for BC mills in export markets for much of 2026 unless demand improves or prices move higher—both unlikely until 2027.
US Remodeling Market Sentiment Remains in Positive Territory in Second Quarter

In the second quarter of 2026, the NAHB Remodeling Market Index (RMI) posted a reading of 61, down one point compared to the previous quarter. The RMI has remained in the low 60s consistently over the past year. Even with this slight decline from the previous quarter, remodeler sentiment remains the standout sector within the housing industry, outperforming both its single-family and multifamily counterparts. …However, ongoing economic uncertainty and current cost pressures due to inflation are causing project delays, especially for larger ones. In the latest RMI survey, 74% of remodelers reported that their suppliers have increased prices of materials since March due to higher fuel costs, with the average increase in materials prices over that span being 6.7%.
As Selkirk College increases its offerings in support of the mass timber industry, students in a micro-credential program got a unique opportunity thanks to a partnership with British Columbia Institute of Technology (BCIT). BCIT brought its Mass Timber Connections and Constructability Hub — a mobile mass timber training platform — to the Selkirk Technology Access Centre in Trail in May. The students benefited from direct, practical experience in mass timber construction and fabrication techniques including rigging and hoisting glulam posts and beams, assembling them using pre-engineered connections and custom steel components, and attaching cross-laminated timber (CLT) wall and floor panels. …Through Kalesnikoff, Spearhead, International Timber Frames and Hamill Creek Timber Homes, the West Kootenay is becoming a centre for mass timber construction, development and innovation.

After more than 50 years as a trusted voice in the forest sector, Logging & Sawmilling Journal, like the industry it represents, is evolving. Logging and Sawmilling Journal is transitioning to a new name: Forestnet Magazine. This change reflects a fundamental reality—the business is no longer only logging and sawmilling. Today, it includes biomass and energy, pellet production, mass timber and CLT, advanced robotics and automation in manufacturing, and increasingly sophisticated, technology-driven operations across the entire value chain. It also extends beyond the industry itself. Architects, engineers, developers, policymakers, and even the general public are now part of the conversation. There is growing interest in where wood products come from—from the lumber in our homes to the paper products we use every day. The name Logging & Sawmilling Journal no longer fully reflects that reality—Forestnet Magazine does.

Two BC communities are breathing a little easier, thanks to forward-thinking thinning operations by BC logging companies. On the outskirts of the Xetólaçw Village subdivision of Mount Currie, Lilwat Forestry Ventures crews have thinned roughly 200 hectares of densely grown Douglas fir and applied cultural burning to reduce understory vegetation. If a wildfire were to reach this now-treated forest, it would travel more slowly. …In the Quesnel area, east of the Nazko First Nation community, Integrated Operations Group collaborated with the Nation to thin a beetle-killed pine blowdown stand, removing the dead stems and leaving the live stems standing. …Both projects were partly self-sustaining—the companies used revenue from the harvest and sale of a limited number of logs from the treated areas. …Logging contractors are increasingly taking on a greater diversity of projects. Not only are they adding wildfire mitigation to their offerings, they are also practicing different types of logging.
Tough watering restrictions threaten Metro Vancouver’s trees

Region: Canada West
The average Metro Vancouver tree has a lifespan of less than eight years. That makes it even more important to preserve as many trees as possible. The startling statistic, from Brian Minter, a prominent B.C. horticulturist, serves as a deadly warning: Metro Vancouver’s unusually early and severe watering restrictions are a threat to the region’s trees. Given that so many young trees in Metro Vancouver do not reach their tween years — mostly for lack of watering — Minter has come to think of the metropolis’s relatively few older trees as rare and precious “gold.” …Because of lack of time, knowledge or concern, Bill Manning, retired director of horticulture for Vancouver parks said, many homeowners, tenants and strata councils don’t recognize that, though they’re not allowed to use sprinklers on trees, they are permitted to water trees by hand using a hose with a spring-loaded shut-off nozzle, a watering can, or drip irrigation.
Bayer seeks to end federal Roundup litigation after Supreme Court win

Region: United States, International
NEW YORK — Bayer will try to convince a federal judge to dismantle the federal litigation that consolidates nearly 4,000 lawsuits alleging that its Roundup weedkiller causes cancer, seeking to build on a recent legal victory at the U. Supreme Court. US District Judge Vincent Chhabria in San Francisco is holding a status conference to determine the path forward for those cases after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled last month that plaintiffs cannot sue Bayer by arguing that Roundup’s warning label failed to warn users about cancer risks. Bayer has argued that the decision should lead to the dismissal of the consolidated federal litigation. The company has separately said the ruling is unlikely to affect more than 60,000 similar claims pending in state courts, most of which it is seeking to resolve through a proposed $7.25 billion settlement that a Missouri judge will review in August.

VANCOUVER — Technological limitations, high costs and infrastructure challenges raise questions about relying on carbon capture, utilization and storage as a cornerstone of federal and Alberta climate policy, according to a new Fraser Institute study. The study argues current carbon capture, utilization and storage technology, commonly known as CCUS, is unlikely to deliver emissions reductions on the scale envisioned by governments and industry. The findings come as Ottawa and Alberta advance plans for a new West Coast oil pipeline alongside development of the Pathways carbon capture and storage project in the oilsands. Kenneth Green, a senior fellow with the Fraser Institute and author of the study, said the historical performance of carbon capture projects raises questions about using the technology as a central climate policy. …It also argues large-scale CCUS projects have frequently failed to meet projected carbon capture targets while experiencing significant cost overruns.

A sprawling heat dome expected to settle over the western United States this weekend is forecast to expand into parts of western Canada, bringing several days of unusually hot weather and increasing concerns about wildfire conditions across the Prairies. A large area of high pressure is expected to develop during one of the hottest periods of the year in the U.S., pushing temperatures well above seasonal values across parts of the Rockies and northern Plains before extending north of the border. In an interview, retired Environment Canada’s senior climatologist David Phillips said Canadians have already seen how the weather pattern can spread beyond the U.S. “It’s like putting a lid over a large section of geography, and this time it’s going to be over the western part of the United States and it’s going to again seep into Canada.” Phillips noted southern Prairie communities are expected to feel the greatest impact, saying the event is notable because many Prairie regions have not experienced prolonged heat since a brief warm spell in late May.
Reminder: flying a drone near wildfires is illegal and dangerous

OTTAWA, ON – Transport Canada reminds the public that flying a drone within 9.3 km (5 nautical miles) of wildfires is illegal and dangerous. As crews continue to battle wildfires across the country, unauthorized drones have been observed near wildfire areas. The airspace surrounding wildfires is restricted to aircraft involved in wildfire response, who are authorized to do so by the appropriate fire control authority. Unauthorized drones create a serious risk of collision with firefighting aircraft, forcing crews to ground their operations and putting lives at risk when every minute counts. Drone pilots who break the rules could face significant penalties, including fines and/or imprisonment. Administrative Monetary Penalties for flying where it is prohibited can reach a maximum of $3,000 for individuals and $15,000 for corporations. Provinces and territories can also impose additional penalties for unauthorized drone use near wildfires. Anyone witnessing unsafe drone operations that present an immediate threat to aviation or public safety, should contact 9-1-1 immediately.
Three new names were recently engraved on the Oregon fallen firefighters’ memorial wall in Salem. All three died of cancer believed to be connected to their firefighting duties. One of them was Brian Wolgamott. Wolgamott started his career as a Wildland Firefighter for the United States Forest Service in 2012. In 2022, he was diagnosed with cancer. He kept his cancer diagnosis relatively private, according to his GoFundMe, which also noted his cancer was believed to be linked to environmental toxins he was exposed to while fighting fires. He was 42 when he died, leaving behind a wife and three children, including a 4-year-old. He was one of three people, including Portland Fire & Rescue retired Captain Jim Bieker and Sutherlin Fire Department Battalion Chief Michael Merlino, whose names were memorialized this summer. All of them died of cancer linked to firefighting.
As of Wednesday morning, the Brunswick Creek fire near Boston Bar, B.C., has grown to 2,623 hectares and has forced more evacuations as it burns out of control and threatens homes. The fire, which has been burning since July 2, is considered out of control. Several evacuation orders have been issued by the local regional district and nearby First Nations. Just across Highway 1 from the Brunswick Creek fire, the Ainslie Creek fire has burned 16,987 hectares as of 6:50 p.m. PT. An evacuation alert was issued at 7:00 p.m. PT on Wednesday for approximately 61 properties west of Spius Creek including Petit Creek Road and Prospect Creek Forest Service Road. About 230 B.C. Hydro customers in and around the Boston Bar evacuation zone have been without electricity since Tuesday afternoon. Highway 1 near Boston Bar is closed in both directions as a result of the two fires. Both fires are suspected to be caused by human activity.
Firefighting crews are continuing to tackle several wildfires burning across Labrador on Wednesday — which are bringing smoke and air quality concerns across the region. Newfoundland and Labrador’s active wildfire dashboard lists 22 active wildfires across Labrador. As of 11:30 a.m., the Walsh River fire, about 12 kilometres from Labrador City and 14 kilometres from Wabush, is still listed as out of control. Progress has been made on four other fires around the Labrador West communities. The Blueberry Hill fire has been extinguished. The Swanson Lake fire is now considered under control. The Fifth Lake and De Mille Lake fires are being held. Crews are also fighting fires at Bob’s Brook, around 90 kilometres west of Happy Valley-Goose Bay, and at Brinco Bridge, roughly 18 kilometres from Churchill Falls. Forestry Minister Pleaman Forsey visited the Labrador City area on Sunday, and saw the scale of the fires first-hand. …Fires burning in both Labrador and Quebec have brought air quality concerns across the region.
