The Loggers : MEMORIES OF THE PAST

When most of us think about the life of a logger, our imaginations fill with images of thick socks drying over a stovepipe, stacks of pancakes dripping with syrup and days filled with hard work and sawdust out in the woods. If we look a little closer, we also find that loggers belong to communities that have interesting and sometimes surprising stories.

We have compiled interview clips with former loggers and experts from the industry, archival footage of the early years of Cowichan logging, interviews with residents of the area and even a musical demonstration.
