Weldwood of Canada Limited manufactures forest products that include pulp, lumber, plywood and waferboard from facilities in British Columbia, Alberta, and Ontario.

On December 31, 2004 West Fraser completed its acquisition to purchase Weldwood of Canada from International Paper Company. With this purchase, West Fraser acquired seven sawmills, two plywood plants, one laminated veneer lumber plant and two pulp mills. These assets are located in the interior of BC and Alberta and added approximately 3,000 people to the West Fraser family.
