An agreement is expected to be signed yesterday on logging in one of Canada's most famous environmental battlegrounds that could even lead to environmentalist promoting wood products from the area. The pact between MacMillan Bloedel Ltd , natives and four environmental groups will support the use of selective logging in Clayoquot Sound, where nearly 800 people were arrested in a series of logging road blockades in 1993.
