Company History

Midway has been the home for sawmills for decades, however, Vaagen Fibre Canada was established in 2011 as a result of the local community coming together to reinstate a sawmill in the town after the previous employer closed it’s doors in 2007.

Company Facts

High-quality small trees yield good small logs, starting at 4.5 inches on the small end and 14 inches on the large end. Species range from Douglas Fir, Larch, Pine and Hem Fir.
