Tk̓emlúpsemc Forestry Development Corporation (TFDC), a corporation under Scwén̓wen Economic Development Corporation (SEDC), was established to generate higher and better value added returns from the Band’s timber resources through strategic processing and marketing of timber.
With access to extensive land and natural resources, TFDC is committed to preserving what is most valuable to the community while pursuing sustainable economic opportunities. The creation of TFDC was a natural extension of this vision and has delivered strong returns. Guided by a skilled team of forestry professionals, TFDC continues to be a significant contributor to the Nation’s economic growth and long-term prosperity.
