Campbell River’s logging area contains one of the most valuable fir-cedar forests in the Pacific Northwest. The first large logging operation in the area was that of the International Timber Company, known locally as “I.T”. It began logging operations in 1906, basing its first camp on the hill behind the present downtown core. Logs were boomed at the mouth of Campbell River. As miles of railroad track were laid to reach the timber further inland, additional camps were established, which included family houses and community buildings.
