The Lemare Group has been operational for 30 years, predominantly working in the small communities that are the life-blood of B.C.'s coast.
We are proud to have worked with some of B.C.'s brightest forest professionals to develop stable, assured employment. Wages, competitive salaries, commitment to sourcing local contractors, stumpage, and taxes are all part of the way Lemare helps to contribute to the local economy.

Lemare has worked to support community organizations, events and initiatives for three generations.
Port McNeill is the centre of our operations, and our community contributions are made to environmental causes, sports teams, service groups, and through support of awards and bursaries.
