Notes on this record

  • SAEDS publishes no ranked top-employers list or headcounts; its sector pages give sector totals only (Industrial Park: 'more than 90 diverse high tech and advanced manufacturing firms employing more than 800 employees'; 131+ high-tech firms, 1,064+ high-tech workforce).
  • Not added because their sites could not be opened: BID Group (bidgroup.ca 301 to comact.com, now Comact; not followed through), Raptor Integration Inc. (Sucuri JavaScript challenge), Mill Tech Industries (connection timed out), Forsite Consulting (forsite.ca 301 to forsitegeo.com, a different host, not followed). Raptor, Mill Tech and Forsite are likely Salmon Arm head offices — follow-up.
  • Also follow-up: Columbia Shuswap Regional District (head office in Salmon Arm; csrd.bc.ca robots.txt returned a Cloudflare 403 — blocked), Okanagan College Salmon Arm campus, SASCU credit union (sascu.com robots 404, not fetched further), Askew's Foods.
  • Canoe Forest Products row rests on SAEDS and SD83 pages; the company's own site disallows ClaudeBot so it was not opened — drop the row if the 'website opened' rule must be strict.
  • Deepen pass 2026-10-30. Blocked or left out: salmonarm.ca now disallows ClaudeBot (City careers not opened); csrd.bc.ca robots 403 (Columbia Shuswap Regional District, head office in Salmon Arm — still left out); dinoflex.com disallows ClaudeBot (Dinoflex recycled-rubber products, in the Industrial Park); northernplastic.com robots 403 (Northern Plastics); forsite.ca is now a parked domain (Forsite moved to forsitegeo.com, not followed); BID Group now redirects to Comact, whose contact page does not name a Salmon Arm site; Stella-Jones, Wood-Mizer Canada, Mascon Cable Systems and FortisBC/BC Hydro appear in the Industrial Park directory but their pages read do not state the Salmon Arm operation, so not added. 4AG's investor list in its release also names a family office named after a person — omitted under the no-individuals rule.
  • Funding: 4AG Robotics (Series B C$40M, July 2025; C$17.5M round in 2023; C$57.5M total per the company release — BetaKit reported 'over $60 million'). No other venture-funded company headquartered in Salmon Arm was found.
