Timber and Silviculture
Forestry is the main economic sector, providing about one quarter of local employment.
Tourism and Recreation
The plan area has high recreation values due to its landforms, climatic diversity, relatively undeveloped state, and proximity to the lower mainland.
Agriculture and Range
Farms and rangelands help sustain the local and regional economy.
Crown Land and Water
Sustainable economic development and community expansion depends, to a large part, on the availability of Crown land and water.
Energy and Minerals
Hydro-electric facilities on the Bridge and Seton rivers are the third largest in the province. Expansion opportunities are limited.
