Development LP (LKBD) was formed

“Lax Kw’alaams has been involved in
forestry management and harvesting
activities for thousands of years,” says
Carl Sampson, Director of Business and
Employment for LKBD. “In more modern
times, Lax Kw’alaams has had a very
active on-reserve forestry operation
throughout the 80s and 90s. When the
Forest economy started experience the
economic decline and the closures of
Pulp, Paper and Sawmills throughout the
Province, our operations took a hit as a
result.”
