Canadian manufacturing sales posted a modest decline in
August, falling 0.2 per cent month-over-month.
Sales were lower in 11 of 21 manufacturing sectors.
In BC, manufacturing sales rose 0.8 per cent from July
but were 0.3 per cent lower than August 2012.
Year-to-date, BC manufacturing sales are 1.2 per cent higher than last
year, though much of the overall gain is due to a 28 per cent rise in sales of
manufactured wood products. Other large manufacturing sectors such as food
products, pulp and paper and mineral products have recorded year-to-date
declines in sales.
