The Youbou TimberLess Society plans on holding another "Logging truck count" starting Monday March 20th at 6:30 am at the Crofton turnoff from highway 1 (north of Duncan across from Russell's Farm Market).

We are doing this to coincide with a Port Alberni group (SOVA) who will be counting trucks on the "Hump". We hope to show Canadians that it is NOT just one area of the Island or just one town where the logs are being so rapidly harvested with so few local jobs created. It is an epidemic of the entire Island and communities are losing out!

Please feel free to join us and help "staff" the tent as we count from 6:30 am until 4:30 pm. We hope to get enough volunteers to keep the count going for at least 4 days.

Contact Ken James at 746-8684, or papa.ken@shaw.ca to schedule a time to assist us.
