This report presents results of a 1998 survey of the British Columbia solid wood secondary manufacturing industry. The survey project was designed to gather operational data on 1997 sector activity to update information from earlier surveys, and to support efforts to examine the effectiveness of the Forest Renewal BC value-added program. The survey asked firms to provide information on their 1997 activity including products manufactured, employment, raw material use, sales revenue, markets, operating costs, capacity utilization, expansion plans, challenges to expansion, mill location, and contacts. Sub-sectors covered in the report include remanufactured products, engineered building components, millwork, cabinets, furniture, pallets & containers, panelboards, shakes & shingles, and other wood products.

Covers all publications issued by the regions, institutes and headquarters of Forestry Canada.
