Historically, logging has been the prime resource based industry for the coastal

areas of British Columbia.  From the days of hand logging, bulls, horses and steam machinery, to today’s use of grapple yarders, self loaders and helicopters, the

industry has seen many changes.  Throughout these changes, the one thing that

has remained constant, is the loggers getting together to show off their skills in

friendly competitions.

 

 

Today, nearly every major logging community has these competitions,

which have become known as “Loggers Sports“ and Campbell River is no exception.  Since Campbell River is the major center for the logging industry

on Northern Vancouver Island and the many coastal islands and inlets, it is

only natural that Logging Sports Competitions became a major event in the community.

 

Logging Sports are not just competitions amongst loggers, but they provide the opportunity to depict the heritage of the North Island by incorporating entertaining events that show both past and present logging practices.  Events like axe throwing, tree climbing, spring board chops, log rolling, hand bucking and high speed power saw cutting never cease to amaze the crowds at these competitions

 

In fact, Logging Sports has become so popular in Campbell River that TSN Television network aired our “2000, 2006, 2007 & 2011 Logger Sports”   “A Channel”, “CH”,  “CTV” and Shaw routinely cover our Logger Sports on their news and sports broadcasts.  In 2006 and 2008 we were able to host the most prestigious Logging Sports event in Canada, "the Canadian East West Logging Sports Challenge".  Here Ontario, Quebec and Maritime Loggers competed against Alberta and British Columbia loggers to determine who are the best, East or West.  The West won both the competitions we hosted.  In 2010 two competitors Mitch Hewitt & Dave MacLeod were chosen at our show for STIHL to represent Canada at the World Timbersports in Austria.  Canada came in 4th of 17 countries

 

For 2012, the Salmon Festival plans to present 2 World Championship and 7 Canadian Championships, along with 30+ other Open, Intermediate, Novice, ladies, Youth and Teen events.  International and local loggers will be competing for part of the $30,000.00 prize package at this World Class Loggers Sports Competition.  This years competition has once again been selected to filmed for TSN and will be aired on their 2011 & 2012 Lumberjack Series

 

For 7 consecutive years our show has been the largest Logging Sports Competition in Canada and is now ranked 4th in North America, so it is definitely one event you don’t want to miss, whether you are a competitor or spectator.
