Chairman's Welcome
I would like to start by once again welcoming all of our Interior Logging Association Members, delegates and friends back for the 67th ILA AGM and Convention! We are so excited to be able to once again run this amazing event coupled with some
great networking opportunities!
This years event will once again feature inside and outside displays, located together on the Powwow Grounds. As always, all displays are open to the General Public and NO ALCOHOL will be permitted on grounds. It is important to note that speed zones are in effect on school days.
Once again at this years show we will be offering many opportunities for networking events and gatherings, including our Meet and Greet, Breakfast, Luncheon, and Dinner and Dance events. We also look forward to the return of our Log Loader Competition, and our 2nd Annual Truck Show and Shine which was a great success last year!
We are also pleased to welcome back the Interior Safety Conference facilitated by the BC Forest Safety Council as part of our event. We ask that you please register directly with them, the information is included in the Weekend Agenda panel of this pamphlet.
For all ILA Members, we ask that you please plan to attend our Annual General Meeting on Friday, May 2nd, 2025 from 8:30am to 10:00am at the Coast Kamloops Hotel.
On behalf of the Interior Logging Association Board of Directors and our Staff, I would like to thank all of the Co-Sponsors and Suppliers’ for their continued participation in our event year after year. We are very happy to be celebrating an incredible 67 years!
Last but not least, please know that we appreciate your support and attendance at this years’ event. We look forward to seeing all of you in Kamloops!
