RE: Boxed In

The annual Logger Sports competition brings together hundreds of participants and thousands of spectators, specifically in the Canadian town of Kaslo, British Columbia. But this activity is widely practised in the territory, and the French colonies have gradually joined in.

Logging enthusiasts from Canada, the United States and New Zealand compete in multiple disciplines, including log rolling, trampoline cutting, open tree climbing and pole vaulting.

This spectacular competition has been traditionally organised by Kaslo lumberjack families for over 100 years.

The proceeds of the competition (firewood) are used by the different families to fill up their storage tanks in anticipation of the harsh winter. Axes, power saws and electric saws are used in the competition. The same families take part in the competition. Last year a new discipline was introduced with the participation of sculptors who gave free rein to their imagination.
