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. MacMillan, and operated as a MacMillan business (becoming, after 1951, MacMillan 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. (Ref. 1) This award recognizes the Chemainus saw mill's Mill Boom employees, who worked for 6+ years without suffering an accident resulting in lost time.
