Canfor recognizes the value to our employees, our customers and our stakeholders that comes from building a diverse and inclusive organization. We aim to foster diversity by promoting and leveraging the unique strengths and experiences of all of our employees and partners. This approach also encourages a wider choice of qualified candidates to explore employment opportunities at Canfor.

As a global leader in sustainable forestry, we understand the essential role Aboriginal Peoples play in the stewardship of the land and our forests. We welcome the growing involvement of Aboriginal Peoples in the resource sector and encourage this by promoting our training, employment and business activity opportunities. 

​Canfor is the largest Crown tenure holder in BC, with all of our licenses in the Interior region. Our footprint on the landscape brings us into contact with more Aboriginal communities than any other licensee and more than most other resource companies. We believe that Aboriginal communities should benefit from resource development through employment and business opportunities and we recognize that having Aboriginal Peoples working at all levels within Canfor provides an important connection to the communities where we operate. Canfor strives to attract, retain and advance the careers of Aboriginal Peoples, and we are committed to creating a diverse workforce and an equitable, supportive workplace.

Self-identification is the process by which you can voluntarily declare that you are First Nations, Inuit or Métis. All Aboriginal Canfor job applicants are encouraged to self-identify when creating their application profile. Information is collected for statistical purposes and hiring managers do not have access to this information. If you self-identify, you will also be offered an option to contact our Aboriginal Relationships Manager to receive additional support with your application, resume and/or interview skills.

We encourage applications from all qualified individuals including, Aboriginal Peoples, visible minorities and persons with disabilities. Aboriginal applicants are encouraged to self-identify; however, the provision of this information is not mandatory and there is the option of selecting “Prefer not to answer”. Again, this information is collected for statistical purposes only and responses to these questions will have no effect on hiring decisions as hiring managers are not able to see responses to our diversity questions.

We are committed to building a diverse workforce while hiring on the basis of merit.
