The Top Companies in Alberta's Forest Industry The Top Companies in Alberta’s Forest Industry Logging & Sawmilling Journal is once again pleased to present its list of Alberta’s top logging contractors by volume, as well as the province’s top producers of lumber and panelboard. Mill closures and curtailments have had a significant impact on the volume of forest products manufactured inAlberta and the amount of work available to logging contractors. For example, the Alberta Forest Products Association estimates that since 2006, Alberta’s OSB production has fallen by about 62 per cent due to permanent or indefinite mill closures and production curtailments in the province. Generally, logging contractors have seen harvesting volumes reduced. Although the industry as a whole has been hit by the downturn, logging contractors harvesting logs for the pulp and paper industry, and for sawmills not entirely dependent on the softwood lumber market, seem to be less affected. All logging contractors on this list were contacted and participation was voluntary. While we do our best at Logging & Sawmilling Journal to identify those contractors meeting the volume criteria, it is possible that we may have inadvertently missed someone. If you know of someone who should be on the next list, please contact our office at (604) 990-9970. Top 10 Alberta Lumber Producers – 2008 1 Blue Ridge Lumber Inc.

    WHITHER GOEST THOU.... EDITORIAL READERS, THLS BOOK IS DEDICATED TO YOU - THE STUDENTS OF THE GRA DE PRAlRIE JU 1IOR COLLEGE DURING THE 1968-' 69 SESSION. IT IS NOT O LY A COLLECTION OF MEMORIES, BUT GREATER STILL, A SYMBOL OF YOUR LAUNCH INTO THE WORLD. IT IS POI TLESS TO REVIEW THE YEAR I TERMS OF WORDS; SO WITHOUT FURTHER ADO, HERE IT IS - YOUR YEARBOOK. SINCERELY, BARB and AN E (EDITOR and CO-EDITOR) GRANDE PRAIRIE LIBRARY JUN IOR COLLEGE GRANDE PRAIRIE JUNIOR COLLEGE'S DEAN ANDERSON DEAN'S MESSAGE The stated objective of the College is to develop as a regional post-secondary institution with a variety of educational programs designed for students with differing aspirations, interests, and background preparation. The past aca­ demic year saw business education programs and an expanded set of courses in adult occupational training added to the offerings of the College, as an extension to the University and matriculation programs which had been estab­ lished. The result of these additions was reflected in a broader cross section of students, and a greater diversity of interests to provide for in student life. The range and the complexity of demands on students, and the difficulty in providing the necessary facilities and spaces, produced problems for the student body, and the student government. A continuing problem, while our programs are scattered in different sections of the city, will be to provide a common identity for all students as members of the same institution. I have been very pleased with the co-operation and good will which characterized the response of the students to the limitations which were imposed on us in the past year, which was a critical period in our development.
