SMITHERS, B.C. — CanWel Building Supplies is taking heat for its efforts to get government approval for permits to begin logging in land adjacent to Seven Sisters Provincial Park. CanWel owns the timber-cutting rights to the land. Advocates for the park, a 39,000-hectare wilderness tract between Smithers and Terrace, claim some of the CanWel lands that are right beside the park could have a negative impact on wildlife, nearby watersheds, and mushroom picking areas.
