DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:<p>Logging was the motor and engine of the Comox Valley economy between the 1860s and the 1960s. Practically everyone in the valley was drawn into it somehow, directly or indirectly.</p>=0D=0A=
<p>Richard Mackie will tap into a rich seam of stories -- humourous, profound, and suggestive -- of a century when the valley's old growth forests sustained the communities of Courtenay, Comox, Cumberland, and Merville.</p>=0D=0A=
<p>In this talk, Mackie will present stories about logging in the Comox Valley drawn from his books The Wilderness Profound (1995), Island Timber (2000), and Mountain Timber (2009).</p>=0D=0A=
