Al Huddlestan, ChairRegional District of Mount Waddington 22044 McNeill RdP0 Box 729Port McNeill, British ColumbiaVON 2R0

Dear Mr. Huddlestan:

Thank you for meeting with me on Thursday, September27 at the 2012 UBCM Convention todiscuss rural resource roads and a community forest application.

Several communities have expressed concerns about resource road maintenance. Limited budgetsrequire government to prioritize community access and public safety over recreational uses, and webelieve that the user-pay model has a high level of support in the province. As such, you may wishto explore partnership arrangements with users willing to contribute to maintenance costs.

We remain committed to funding maintenance work for roads with high public value. As such, Iencourage you to work with minstry staff to identify roads of greatest interest to the regional district.I can assure you that your input will receive every consideration.

With regard to the community forest application recently submitted jointly by port communities inMount Waddington, staff will review the request and respond as soon as possible. We continue tostrongly support the community forest model despite significant constraints in the available fibresupply.

Again, thank you for coming. It was a pleasure to meet with you.

Sincerely.

Steve ThomsonMinister

Fow#&Chaiw& CONovember 7, 2012

To our Shareholders,

A US recovery is now underway with new housing starts accelerating.Japan is showing signs of improvement and China remains a keymarket. We continue to position Western to take full advantage ofthese market improvements. Our margin focus, repositioned coststructure, and flexibility allowed us to post our twelfth consecutive quarter of positive EBITDA.

British Columbia’s driest summer in over 100 years impacted log supply. Despite this, our sawmill productivitycontinued to climb, and our timberlands performed well in delivering volume even with operating days beingreduced significantly. Demand for our lumber products increased, our lumber order file emerged from thequarter strong, and our liquidity and debt position is the best it has been since the company’s inception.

Q3 2012 financial highlights are as follows:• EBITDA for the quarter was $8.4 million, our twelfth consecutive quarter of positive EBITDA• Net debt decreased to $19.7 million, a new record low for Western• Liquidity continues to increase and is now at $1 78.0 million• Sales revenue remained strong at $219.4 million

The quarter resulted in several achievements including:• Lumber revenue increased 4% compared to the same quarter last year• Manufacturing mill productivity per shift for the quarter improved 13% over the third quarter 2011• Lumber shipments into North America increased to 60% of our sales from 48°/a a year ago

Western’s ability to be responsive to shifts in lumber markets allowed us to divert volume into an improving NorthAmerican lumber market and maintain strong sales revenues. During the third quarter, the lumber markets in NorthAmerica, driven by the US, steadily improved. Rising building permits for new construction and housing starts providedimproved market opportunities, and are pointing to an accelerated recovery in the US. We took advantage of this trendand redirected a higher percentage of our lumber production into the North American market. The Japanese marketcontinues to show signs of improvement, from both a price and volume perspective, and China’s demographics indicatea market that will have longterm strength. Our ability to be flexible and respond to market demand is a competitiveadvantage.

Severely dry weather conditions impacted operating days and supply. Due to the weather, we operated fewer daysin our timberlands and many days we were forced to operate on a reduced workday. Log harvest volumes were 17%lower than the same quarter last year and 22°c lower than the previous quarter this year.The reduced harvest resulted ina 20% reduction in log revenues and fibre supply to our mills was insufficient to allow us to satisfy market demand for ourproducts, We expect weather conditions to continue to impact supply into the fourth quarter. We will be concentratingon building our log inventory in preparation for 2013 and maintaining ourfocus on getting maximum margin from everylog.

Log markets didn’t see the same improvements in the quarter but we are beginning to see signs of a strongermarket going forward. During the quarter we experienced weaker demand in our export markets for our logs,specifically Japan, Korea, and China which led to both lower volumes and prices. Our expectation is that shipments willreturn to more normal levels in 2013. In addition, due to lower prices for market pulp, our sales of pulp logs and chips toour coastal pulp mill customers were similarly impacted and we expect little improvement in the near term. However,as the US lumber markets continue to strengthen over the coming quarters, we expect the market for logs to tightenwith increasing operating rates from mills along the coast of British Columbia and the Pacific Northwest. We have made

Continued on page 3

organizational changes designed to enhance our position in log purchasing and trading to maximize margin in domesticand overseas log markets.

Western’s focus on margin and strategic positioning produced continued positive results. Net debt continues todecline to its lowest level ever at $20 million - a significant improvement from the Company’s debt position in 2008 at$233 million. Liquidity remains very strong at $178 million. Our manufacturing division has shown marked improvementin throughput in our sawmills and we have made gains in our transportation and procurement costs. We continue toseek opportunities and ideas through management collaboration and by fostering a culture of continuous improvement,hands on management, and margin focus.

A part of our strategic plan is investing in our mills in preparation for recovery in our markets. The $38 millionupgrade of our Saltair sawmill is on time and on budget with $24 million committed and contractors selected. Theproject team is preparing the site for arrival of equipment and installation of the stacker over our Christmas shutdown.This $24 million phase will be completed at the end of the second quarter in the New Year. Our $6.7 million dollarinvestment in technology, the automated lumber grading equipment in our Alberni Pacific Sawmill, is expected to becomplete at the end of the first quarter in 2013. These improvements will ensure our continued competitiveness inglobal lumber markets. We will keep you posted on our progress.

We are developing our management team to complement our margin focused business. This quarter we werepleased to announce the appointment of Bruce St. John as Vice President Lumber Sales and Marketing and Tony Peifferas General Manager, Log Marketing.

Bruce has over 25 years of BC coastal lumber sales experience, and was most recently our General Manager of WhitewoodSales and Marketing. His primary focus will be bringing together our sales, manufacturing and timberlands groups tofurther refine our product line offerings to drive improved margin.

Tony also brings over 25 years of experience from the perspective of Coastal log marketing. Our margin focus necessitatesexpertise like Tony’s to look at each block we harvest or purchase to ensure we are maximizing margin. Tony has a proventrack record of delivering results in this area.

Our safety results continue to trend in a positive direction. We are committed to providing the systems, education,support and leadership necessary to deliver a zero incident work place for all of our employees. We demonstrate ourcommitment by leading the industry in key training initiatives such as danger tree assessment and we are proud to havelaunched new faller training and basic logger training programs this fall. We remain proactively focused on our contractoperations as it is clear that improvement is needed here. Our goal is to ensure all workers operate in a “culture”of safety.This is the fundamental shift that will take improved safety results to the next level.

We expect to benefit materially from the recovery taking hold in the US housing industry and as we do so, we willcontinue to effectively manage factors within our control, and implement our strategic plan which is resulting ina strong financial position, short and long-term, with improved safety results. We would like to commend all of ouremployees for their continued focus on safety and margin and look forward to improved market and weather conditionsin the last quarter of 2012.

We4t th Cou4FILOMI Days

A arty Gage, General Foreman - Holberg

Recently members of the WFP Holberg ForestOperation decided to wave the WFP banner andshow some community spirit during the FILOMIDays celebration in PortHardy. FILOMI Days are a longstanding tradition whichcelebrate the community andthe 3 major industries thathave traditionally driven theeconomy in the community:fishing, logging and mining.UTAH mines shut down in the80’s and commercial fishing isnot nearly as big as it used tobe. Logging and particularlyWFP are a huge component to the success of theNorth Island communities. I was born in Port Hardy 35years ago and I have never once seen an off highwaylogging truck in the parade; it may have happenedbut I don’t recall. WEP was represented very well andthe community really appreciated the display.

The truck is 2212 and the driver is Dell Murphy. Delland I washed and painted the truck before theparade. Dell’s wife, Penny rode in from Holberg withhim and rode during the parade. It was an absolutethrill for her to actually ride around in the truck herhusband drives for a living.

I was driving my truck towing the float with mydaughter Faith, and one of our workers daughter’sKatie, in the back throwing candy.

David Steele built the float[ with help from many of the[ others who are in the parade.L Dave’s wife Carolina (Forestry

crewman 3) and son Ignaciowere in the float with him.

Also in the float: Mike Green,General Foreman from theEFO with his son Connor, MaiaHaysey, planning departmentclerk, Bram Dalton, HFOswamper.

We had 3 young loggers walking alongside andusing chainsaws to cut yellow cedar logs whichwe had strapped to the back of the float. WoodsForeman, Brad Laviolette, Hooktender, Jeff Youngand Landingman, Tyler Hewlett were our loggersand the crowd loved this part!

HFO also sponsored a street hockey team whoplayed in the tournament.

I really enjoyed it and felt very proud to display alittle of what WFP does and who we are. We are morethan just a logging company, we are a companyfilled with great people who support and contributeto the success of the communities we live in. I

VANCOUVER, Canada, December 18, 2012 — Sea Breeze Power Corp. is pleased to announce

that Sea Breeze Energy Inc. (“Sea Breeze” - a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company) has

construction on Cape Scott Wind Farm is completed and is in production. Commercial operation

of the Cape Scott Wind Farm is expected in the fall of 2013.

partment Priorities:

Recruitment of new personnel and retention of those we haveUpdate Operational GuidelinesEnsure all records and files are kept current and accessibleEnsure Worksafe BC regulations are metCreate emergency binder with maps [address details etc] of area and resources available

Proposed Eguiment purchases:2 sets turn out gearinspection of and possible replacement of electric furnacechainsaw Stihl 460 with rescue bar, depth gauge and carbide tooth chain.paint for exterior of hallnon slip paint for hall floor.uniformsConstruction of plan for the purchase of a new tanker truck. The life span of the HCVFDtanker truck will be met within 3 years.additional tools for the hall tool kit to ensure we may be able to undertake maintenanceUpgrade personal flashlights

Training Priorities:Level 2/crew leader training for 2 to 4 members [leads to incident commander level]Ensure all members have at least a level 1 first aid certification.

Fire Chief Comments:Department personnel numbers shrank by 3 over 2012. New recruitment signs and wordof mouth messaging during local bottle drives have been used in an attempt to bringthe department population up to the by-law level.No incidents recorded. We should endeavour to ensure our training isat as high a level as possible, especially in light of the low number of incidents.I believe the population of the protection area must be educated as to the state of thefire department during 2013. This may entail directing a mail-out notification to allhouseholds in the protection area.
