A book that aims to show both sides of the logging industry and the conflict that ensues from it has now won an award. Aaron Williams is an author and also a third-generation British Columbia logger who returned to the forests of Haida Gwaii to witness what he calls a way of life in the “grip of change.” Wilfrid Laurier University has named Williams the winner of its 2025 Edna Staebler Award for Creative Non-Fiction for his book The Last Logging Show: A Forestry Family at the End of an Era (Harbour Publishing). …“There’s sort of three braids. It’s about my family’s history as well as the history of logging in BC. And then, sort of the third, final, most prevalent, the conflict between First Nations groups and settlers over logging rights,” he explained.
