Provenance |
Depicts MacMillan Bloedel's logging operations at Clayoquot Sound. The area was once the site of major industrial logging but a series of peaceful protests that culminated in a blockade in 1993 that had almost 1,000 people arrested resulted in the company leaving the area. In 1998, MacMillan Bloedel's cutting rights were transferred to Iisaak Forest Resources, a 51% First Nations-owned logging company. From 1988-2008, approx. 6,260,000 cubic metres of wood were logged in Clayoquot Sound. |
