Context

Country: Canada
State/Province: British Columbia
Period: Presumably used May, 1982.
Canada: From Mill No. 4 at Chemainus, B.C.. Built in 1925 by the Victoria Lumber & Mfg. Co., Mill No. 4 was bought c. 1944 by H.R. MacMillian, and operated as a MacMillan business (becoming, after 1951, MacMillian Bloedel) until 1982, when it was closed and dismantled. In 1984 a new and modern mill was built in Chemainus: as of 2001, it was still in operation. In social and economic terms., Mill No. 4 represents the apex of industrial development in Chemainus, in a sector of paramount importance to both the community and the province. Maximum production was 1 million board feet of lumber, over a 24-hr period, with three continuous shifts employing a total 1000 people. (The current mill employs 150 people and processes about 450,000 board feet a day) Mill No. 4 was also a part of an industrial continuum with roots dating back to the pioneer period of settlement on Vancouver Island. According to a handwritten note on the back of the map, this document was posted in the sawfiler manager's office.
Function: To provide information to workers, and to encourage them to protest current conditions.
Technical: Unknown
Area Notes: Unknown
