McLean Mill

A legacy of the early British Columbia forest industry, this steam-powered sawmill is typical of many operations that flourished in the province from the 1880s to the 1940s. Although small in scale, it contains many elements of larger coastal mills including the log haul and double circular saws. Completed in 1927 by the R.B. McLean Lumber Company, a family business, the mill is enriched by associated resources that tell the story of logging, transportation and labour. Together, they commemorate an industry that has dominated economic and social life in British Columbia.

Moulin McLean

Legs de l’industrie forestière britannico-colombienne des grandes années 1880 à 1940, cette petite scierie mue à la vapeur possède nombre d’éléments propres aux grands établissements tels que le convoyeur de grumes et les scies à double lame circulaire. Complétée en 1927 par la R.B. McLean Lumber Company, une entreprise familiale, la scierie est entourée de ressources qui rappellent l’histoire de l’exploitation et du transport du bois, ainsi que celle de la main-d’œuvre. Le tout représente vivement cette industrie qui a dominé la vie économique et sociale de la Colombie-Britannique.
