An unidentified accolade that was presented to five people, including Herb Doman and MLA Tom Waterland. The accolade consists of a framed certificate including the text "The Noble Vancouver Island Hemlock" in a large, cursive font, along with a longer passage in much smaller text. This passage, though partly illegible, appears to be a historical account in the form of a poem concerning the beginning of the timber industry on Vancouver Island under George Vancouver in the year 1792. Captain George Vancouver was a British Royal Navy officer and explorer. Many landmarks in British Columbia, Yukon and Washington are named after him. He was born on June 22, 1757 and died on May 10, 1798.

Painting by an unidentified artist of a yellow transport truck hauling felled trees. The truck is driving on a wooden trackway built on top of a gravel field in a forested area. The periphery of the gravel field is dotted with young tree saplings, shrubs, and lupin plants. Tall pine trees stand in the background, set against a fog-covered mountain under a cloudy sky.

In a misty pine forest in Gordon B.C., a large felled tree lies on its side with its cross-section facing the camera. A lumber worker wearing a white hard hat stands to the right of the felled tree with an axe in his hand. More felled trees and tree stumps can be seen in the vicinity. A plaque identifying the location, subject and date of the photograph can be seen at the top edge of the photograph.
