Employment statistics highlight still-tough times in B.C.`s forestry sector
Statistics Canada`s most recent employment report hints at tough times in B.C.`s resource sector with year-over-year job losses
By Derrick Penner, Vancouver Sun
Peter Lister, executive director of the Truck Loggers Association, said that a lot of his logging-contractor members have limited opportunities in front of them at the start of 2026.
“They would typically have eight to 12 months of work laid out in front of them,” Lister said. “A lot of them, when I talk to them now, they’ve got maybe a few weeks of work in front of them.
“(That’s a) very difficult situation when you’ve got to make decisions about reinvesting in equipment and staffing levels.” ...

BC is Burning is an urgent and impactful documentary exploring British Columbia’s wildfire crisis and transformative solutions we need.
This powerful documentary addresses British Columbia’s escalating wildfire crisis and the urgent need for solutions. With five catastrophic fire seasons in eight years, entire communities are at risk, emissions are soaring, and the economic toll is immense. Since 2017, over seven million hectares—larger than Ireland—have burned, routinely doubling BC’s annual carbon emissions and costing billions in suppression, community devastation, timber losses, and health impacts.
But within this crisis lies opportunity. The film explores how proactive forest management and policy reforms can reduce fire risk. A fact-finding journey to California highlights innovative strategies from its Wildfire and Forest Resilience Action Plan.
BC is Burning is more than a documentary—it’s a call to action to rethink how we manage our forests, protect our communities, and secure a sustainable future for British Columbia.

TLA, ILA and NWLA’s statement on BC’s 2026 Budget
The Truck Loggers Association (TLA), Interior Logging Association (ILA) and North West Loggers Association (NWLA) are pleased BC’s Budget 2026 acknowledges the importance of forestry and includes funding intended to address the province’s ongoing forestry crisis.
However, we note the budget forecasted annual harvest levels of only 29 million cubic metres, which fall far short of Premier Eby’s mandate to Forests Minister Ravi Parmar to achieve an annual harvest level of 45 million cubic metres. This is unsustainable for forestry-dependent communities, damaging to the provincial economy at a time of an unprecedented deficit, and deeply discouraging for the forest workers and contractors who have endured too many years of uncertainty.
Our associations and the forest industry are collectively committed and prepared to support Minister Parmar and government in achieving positive outcomes for our sector, communities and the broader economy. We remain ready to work collaboratively on practical solutions.
However, meaningful progress requires a clear vision and accountable plan to restore markets for British Columbia’s forest sector to move harvest levels toward the 45 million cubic metre objective. Certainty and action are essential to restoring confidence in BC’s forest sector.
