LIZZIE BAY LOGGING CELEBRATES 30 YEAR ANNIVERSARY - 2014
Second generation logger, Norm Le Blanc, hosted an event at Big Sky golf club in Pemberton celebrating Lizzie Bay Logging’s 30 years in the Sea to Sky Corridor. When asked why he didn’t celebrate at 25 years Le Blanc replied “Five years ago the economy, and the state of the forest industry was nothing to celebrate. We didn’t know if we would survive at that time.”
Norm’s father Peter Le Blanc and uncle Chuck Le Blanc established themselves in Pemberton in the 1960’s. Norm mucked about in the bush as a child and in 1984 struck out on his own and began his own logging company.
More than 200 people attended the event, with guests from the forest industry, farming community, fellow logging company colleagues, various suppliers, family, friends and employees past and present. Key speakers were partners Inshuck-ch Nation Chief Negotiator Gerard Peters, and Lucinda Phillips, Chief, Lilwat Nation; Jordan Sturdy MLA spoke, as well as Susie Gimse, Director Area C, SLRD, Dave Southam, Squamish District Manager, Ministry of Forests and Dave Miller, Forestry Consultant, retired Division Manager from Interfor.
Three Lizzie Bay Logging employees were honoured for more than 20 years of service: Dave Stennitt, Gary Poirier (above) and Terry Arsenault.
Norm introduced his new partner, Gord Menzel, whose father Donald incidentally contracted for Norm in the 1980’s. Three employees were honoured for more than 20 years’ service: Dave Stennitt, Gary Poirier and Terry Arsenault.
