Lumber! the reason Chemainus grew. Much of what is today's residential area was lumber yard. And the ships were loaded just outside the mill.

So much of Chemainus' beginnings as a settlement, began with the lumber industry. But, to sustain any group of people, food is also a focus. All around the Chemainus Valley there was a vibrant farming community and with farming and produce, deliveries were also a necessity.

Kudos to the grocers, farmers and delivery people of our past.
