About Us

Located in Salmon Arm, British Columbia, Canoe Forest Products is proud to manufacture premium Canadian plywood and veneer products under the trusted CANOE® brand. Since 1965, we have built our reputation on uncompromising quality, sustainable practices, and a workplace culture rooted in respect and safety.

Our Heritage.

For more than half a century, the Canoe® brand has been recognized worldwide as a symbol of excellence in plywood manufacturing. In 2012, Canoe became part of the Gorman Group of Companies, strengthening our tradition of family values, community focus, and industry-leading craftsmanship. Our long-standing motto, Quality Proud, reflects the pride we take in both our products and the people who make them.

Innovation and
Growth.

With an annual production capacity of approximately 145 million square feet of plywood, Canoe is one of the most advanced plywood facilities in Western Canada. From precision veneer peeling to specialized scanning technology, we continually invest in innovation to maximize recovery, enhance efficiency, and deliver consistently superior products. Our operations are supported by sustainable log harvesting within the Okanagan Timber Supply Area, ensuring responsible resource management for generations to come.

Culture and
Community.

At Canoe, our people are at the heart of everything we do. We foster a workplace built on safety, respect, and collaboration, where every employee takes pride in contributing to Canada’s finest plywood and veneer. Equally important is our commitment to the communities around us and to the environment we share—values upheld through our Sustainable Forestry Initiative® certification and ongoing community support.
