Forestry
A "Log Mall" is being looked into in order to give "value added" work to the forestry sector.
The potential exists in the area for value-added opportunities. Wood and wood by-products that are produced in the area represent excellent opportunities for the production of cedar hot tubs, furniture, shakes, trim and toys.
Tourism
Tourism has become a significant economic contributor in the southern Vancouver
Island area. Potential for growth for Sooke is enormous as the weather and
geography combine to make this area one of the most desirable locations
in Canada
