Welcome to the Valemount Community Forest

Our Purpose

Valemount Community Forest’s purpose is to manage and operate forestry operations for the benefit of the local community, as established in the Company’s Corporate Articles.

Generating revenue to sustain the Company is the foundation for providing lasting community benefits. Local employment, contracting opportunities, local management, processing, value-added manufacturing, recreation and tourism are pursued within this financial foundation and the restrictions established by the Corporate Articles.

The Board’s Purpose Interpretation and Implementation Policy provides guidance for decisions, ensuring that community benefits do not compromise the Company’s financial sustainability while respecting its forest stewardship responsibilities and legal obligations.
