From our earliest days to today’s state-of-the-art operations, Similkameen Forest Products has been built on a foundation of craftsmanship, innovation, and deep respect for the forests and communities we serve.
Similkameen Forest Products’ story is deeply tied to the region around Shuswap Lake and the forest resources of the Okanagan and Columbia interior. The original sawmill and plant were built in 1925 on the shores of the lake and soon became a hub in the forestry economy of the region, given its access to timber and proximity to rail lines and roads.



As part of its commitment to the future, Canoe remains focused on:
With more than 50 years of brand heritage, and decades of embedded history in British Columbia’s forest industry, Canoe Forest Products carries forward a legacy of quality while adapting to the challenges and opportunities of the 21st century.
