Juskatla is solely a logging camp . It is sometimes also called Juskatla Camp and has neither a residential area nor any other businesses than forestry facilities. Loggers usually work in Juskatla but live in nearby Port Clements. [ [http://www.britishcolumbia.com/regions/towns/?townID=4045 BritishColumbia.com Regions & Towns - Juskatla] ]

Juskatla has a constant population of only 5 inhabitants. [ [http://www.prendsalb.gc.ca/demographic_servlet/community_demographics/2069 Industry Canada, Community Demographics - Juskatla, BC] ]

Juskatla was established in the 1940s in the course of World War II to supply the allied air force with wood. [ [http://www.niho.com/tools/Juskatla.asp Niho Land & Cattle Co., Tools & Info, Towns of BC - Juskatla] ]

It is still the center of wood processing on northern Graham Islandand and currently operated by Western Forest Products after the MacMillan Bloedel Ltd tried unsuccessfully to transfer their Tree Farm licenses to Weyerhaeuser logging company. This deal was challenged at the Supreme Court of Canada by the Council of the Haida Nation in 2004.
