Our vision is to operate the safest plywood and veneer plant in the industry while producing the highest quality products.
Canoe strives to remain synonymous with Canada’s finest plywood and veneer.
The Canoe plywood facility is situated 5 kilometers east of the city of Salmon Arm, in the heart of some of BC’s highest quality timber and is supported by log harvesting and forestry operations within the Okanagan Timber Supply Area, surrounding Shuswap Lake. With a capacity of approximately 145 million square feet of plywood annually, the company is well recognized for its high-quality products and precision manufacturing.
Nearly 30 years ago, employees at the mill were asked to give input on a motto that best described the business. “Quality Proud” was the winning submission. That motto fits more than ever since CFP joined the Gorman Group of companies on Nov 1, 2012. Gorman Bros. Lumber has always prided itself on being unique in the industry and family-value driven.
