ILMA Member mills have great stories to tell: decades of continuous operation; more jobs per cubic meter; local employment and purchasing; and creation of high-value products from BC’s public forest resource. We’ve dramatically grown our primary membership along with our Associate Members in a wide-range of core supporting industries. There is an ongoing challenge in the industry regarding a consistent supply of fibre to the various producers in all parts of the industry. The ILMA-proposed solution to this challenge can be summed-up in one sentence: “Get the right log to the right mill.” Over the past few years, the ILMA has been working with government to inform policies that support ‘the right log to the right mill’. We’ve been working with local government to gain support and working with staff in both the technical and political roles of the Ministry of Forests, Lands, Natural Resource Operations and Rural Development.
