WHO WE ARE.

The Truck Loggers Association is an influential voice in the forest industry on behalf of its 500 member companies across BC. Celebrating 75 years of advocacy, the TLA was formed to give independent loggers a collective voice in the changes taking place in society and the forest industry, as well as to share information about newly developing logging machines, methods, and technology.

Repost Via @bcforestryalliance “As a First Nations & Founding Member of the BCFA I feel it’s necessary to address the current accusations of racism being aimed at some of our BCFA Admin & our fellow loggers. I’ve been a faller since 1997 & transitioned into Operations Manager for a substantial logging service provider in BC. If you have never been a Faller, you’ll never understand the brotherhood that’s built relying on one another to get home safely to our families. Hard work & safety are the components to earning respect in this dangerous profession. Skin color does not factor into whether a Faller is accepted as a brother on any crew I have ever worked with. We at the BCFA assembled a group to give the working men & women of the logging industry a voice. There was no other agenda other than we’re fed up with activists trying to destroy our livelihood. These activists trying to say we promote racism is appalling. If activists place a teepee at a blockade & the teepee is referenced, that isn’t racism, it’s pointing out that the activists are using a culturally appropriated item as a prop. As a coastal First Nation member, I can say that a longhouse is appropriate in our territory. Long strikes, followed by poor markets & the unforeseen havoc that Covid has caused, has put a strain on workers to say the least & many will never rebound financially from these circumstances. The fact workers imploded is not surprising, nor is it condoned, but with all the underlying issues at hand we understand people just want to provide for their families...
