But we ee live In e e A company is people. There’s more to MB than logging operations, pulp and paper mills, building materials plants and packaging operations. That’s the “hardware”.

But there are other benefits as well. We're not all business. We don’t just work in the com- munities where MB operates. We live in them, too. And that means our company and our people care about a lot of things that can’t be measured in money. Things like education. The arts. Sports. Health services. Charit- able organizations. It’s a long list. To name only a few: MB commits funds each year for a continuing program of bur- saries and scholarships. And we _ donate to a wide variety of com- munity organizations and events. The Vancouver Symphony. The Playhouse and the Arts Club Theatres. The Vancouver Ballet Society. Loggers’ sports in Camp- bell River, Port Alberni and Ladysmith. The. Powell River Tennis Club.

We hope it will contribute to a better under- standing of the forests—not only as economic assets, but also as sources of delight and mystery. The B.C. life: we're part of it and proud of it! Are we bragging? Maybe a little. We just want you to understand the extent of our commitment to this province. Our company was born in British Columbia and we're proud of our continuing involvement in it. It goes way beyond our ability to harvest trees and earn dollars. MacMillan Bloedel
