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.
