Training
The primary focus of Arbor Vitae Log Craft is the
development of training programs for delivery to a
variety of clients, including First Nations in order
to meet the demands for housing and other infrastructure
while enhancing the economic diversity of
the host communities.
First Nation communities
throughout Western Canada have benefited from
programs and advise provided by Log Bob through
Arbor Vitae Log Craft. Communities have established
successful log building manufacturing businesses and
created new employment opportunities. Graduates of Arbor Vitae
training programs have found work within the industry
and some have even gone on to establish
their own training programs. The structures built
in the host communities include residential and
commercial spaces. Projects currently being developed
for First Nations include a Youth Centre, an
Elder Care Centre and a Community Hall, with a
Health Care Wing & Administrative Offices. With guaranteed access to a tenured fiber source
and substantial timber awards, the benefits will
ripple throughout the area and will contribute
greatly to the reduction of social assistance and
substandard housing conditions.
Creative and efficient utilization of both natural and
human resources is the mission statement of Arbor
Vitae Log Craft.
