MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR AS AT JANUARY 15, 2006

SOLICITATION OF PROXIES

THIS MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR IS FURNISHED IN CONNECTION WITH THE SOLICITATION OF PROXIES BY AND ON BEHALF OF THE MANAGEMENT OF JEWETT-CAMERON TRADING COMPANY LTD. (the "Company") for use at the Annual and Extraordinary General Meeting of holders of common shares of the Company (the "Common Shares") to be held on February 27, 2006 and any adjournment thereof, for the purposes set forth in the attached Notice of Meeting.  Except where otherwise indicated, the information contained is stated as of January 15, 2006.


It is expected that the solicitation will be primarily by mail, but proxies may also be solicited personally, by advertisement or by telephone, by directors, officers or employees of the Company without special compensation, or by the Company’s transfer agent, Computershare Trust Company of Canada, at nominal cost. The cost of solicitation will be borne by the Company.

APPOINTMENT OF PROXYHOLDER

The persons named as proxyholder in the accompanying form of proxy are officers or directors of the Company and were designated by the management of the Company ("Management Proxyholder").  A shareholder desiring to appoint some other person ("Alternate Proxyholder") to represent him/her at the Meeting may do so either by striking out the printed names and inserting such other person's name or by completing another proper form of proxy.  The form of proxy should be dated and executed by the shareholder or an attorney authorized in writing, with proof of such authorization attached where an attorney executed the proxy form.  A person appointed as proxyholder need not be a shareholder of the Company. 

All completed proxy forms must be deposited with Computershare Trust Company of Canada, 100 University Avenue, 9th Floor, Toronto, Ontario, M5J 2Y1, Facsimile: 1(866) 249-7775 not less than forty-eight (48) hours, excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays, before the time of the Meeting or the adjournment thereof at which the proxy is to be used.

A person or company whose name appears on the books and records of the Company as a holder of Common Shares is a registered shareholder. A non-registered shareholder is a beneficial owner of Common Shares whose shares are registered in the name of an intermediary (such as a bank, trust company, securities dealer or broker, or a clearing agency in which an intermediary participates).

REGISTERED SHAREHOLDERS

A registered shareholder can vote Common Shares owned by it at the Meeting in one of two ways – either in person at the Meeting or by proxy. A registered shareholder who wishes to vote in person at the Meeting should not complete or return the form of proxy included with this Circular. Those registered shareholders choosing to attend the Meeting will have their votes taken and counted at the Meeting. A registered shareholder who does not wish to attend the Meeting or does not wish to vote in person should properly complete and deliver the enclosed form of proxy, and the Common Shares represented by the shareholder’s proxy will be voted or withheld from voting in accordance with the instructions indicated on the form of proxy, or any ballot that may be called at the Meeting or any adjournment thereof.  A registered shareholder may submit his or her proxy by mail or by facsimile in accordance with the instructions below.

Voting by Mail. A registered shareholder may vote by mail by completing, dating and signing the enclosed form of proxy and returning it using the envelope provided or otherwise to the attention of the Proxy Department of Computershare Trust Company of Canada, the Company’s transfer agent, at 100 University Avenue, 9th Floor, Toronto, Ontario, M5J 2Y1.

Voting by Facsimile. A registered shareholder may vote by facsimile by completing, dating and signing the enclosed form of proxy and returning it by facsimile to Computershare Trust Company of Canada at (416) 263-9524.

To be effective, a proxy must be received by Computershare Trust Company of Canada no later than 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on February 23, 2006 or, if the Meeting is adjourned, 48 hours (Saturdays, Sundays and holidays excepted) prior to the time of holding of the Meeting or any adjournment thereof.

NON-REGISTERED SHAREHOLDERS

The Company has distributed copies of this Management Information Circular and accompanying Notice of Meeting to intermediaries for distribution to non-registered shareholders. Unless the non-registered shareholder has waived his or her rights to receive these materials, an intermediary is required to deliver them to the nonregistered shareholder and to seek instructions on how to vote the Common Shares beneficially owned by the non-registered shareholder. In many cases, intermediaries will have used a service company to forward these Meeting materials to non-registered shareholders.  Non-registered shareholders who receive these Meeting materials will typically be given the ability to provide voting instructions in one of two ways.  Usually a non-registered shareholder will be given a voting instruction form which must be completed and signed by the non-registered shareholder in accordance with the instructions provided by the intermediary. In this case, a non-registered shareholder cannot use the mechanisms described above for registered shareholders and must follow the instructions provided by the intermediary (which in some cases may allow the completion of the voting instruction form by telephone or the Internet).  Occasionally, however, a non-registered shareholder may be given a proxy that has already been signed by the intermediary. This form of proxy is restricted to the number of Common Shares beneficially owned by the non-registered shareholder but is otherwise not completed. This form of proxy does not need to be signed by the non-registered shareholder. In this case, the non-registered shareholder can complete the proxy and vote by mail or facsimile only, as described above.  These procedures are designed to enable non-registered shareholders to direct the voting of their Common Shares. Any non-registered shareholder receiving either a form of proxy or a voting instruction form who wishes to attend and vote at the Meeting in person (or have another person attend and vote on their behalf), should strike out the names of the persons identified in the form of proxy as the proxyholder and insert the non-registered shareholder’s (or such other person’s) name in the blank space provided or, in the case of a voting instruction form, following the corresponding instructions provided by the intermediary. In either case, the non-registered shareholder should carefully follow the instructions provided by the intermediary.

REVOCATION OF PROXY

A proxy may be revoked, before it is exercised, either by:

(a)

signing a proxy bearing a later date or signing and dating a written notice of revocation (in the same manner as the proxy is required to be executed as set out in the notes to the proxy), and depositing it at the time and place specified above for the proxy; or

(b)

registering in person with the Scrutineer at the Meeting prior to the start of the Meeting.

EXERCISE OF DISCRETION BY PROXYHOLDER

The proxyholder will vote for or against or withhold from voting the Common Shares, as directed by a shareholder on the proxy, on any ballot that may be called for.  In the absence of any such direction, the Management Proxyholders will vote IN FAVOUR of matters described in the proxy; an Alternate Proxyholder has discretion to vote the Common Shares as he or she chooses.

The enclosed form of proxy confers discretionary authority upon the proxyholder with respect to each matter or group of matters identified therein for which a choice is not specified, amendments or variations to matters identified in the Notice of Meeting and other matters which may properly come before the Meeting.  At present, management of the Company knows of no such amendments or variations or other matter that may come before the Meeting.

VOTING SHARES AND PRINCIPAL HOLDERS THEREOF

On January 15, 2006 there were 1,532,359 Common Shares issued and outstanding, each share carrying the right to one vote.  The Company has no other classes of voting securities.

The Board of Directors of the Company has fixed January 31, 2006 as the record date (the "Record Date") for determination of persons entitled to receive notice of the Meeting.  Only shareholders of record at the close of business on the Record Date who either attend the Meeting personally or complete, sign and deliver a form of proxy in the manner and subject to the provisions described above, will be entitled to vote or to have their shares voted at the Meeting, except to the extent that

(a)

the shareholder has transferred the ownership of any such share after the record date; and

(b)

the transferee produces a properly endorsed share certificate for or otherwise establishes ownership of any of the transferred shares and makes a demand to Computershare Trust Company no later than 10 days before the Meeting that the transferee's name be included in the list of shareholders in respect thereof.


To the knowledge of the directors and senior officers of the Company, the beneficial owners or persons exercising control or direction over shares carrying more than 5% of the outstanding voting rights (on a fully diluted basis) are:

There was no other compensation paid to the executive officers during the most recently completed fiscal year ended August 31, 2005, other than the Common Shares credited to the Named Executive Officers pursuant to the Employee Stock Ownership Plan and contributions to the Company's 401K Plan, as discussed below.

Long-Term Incentive Plan Awards

Long-term incentive plan awards ("LTIP") means "any plan providing compensation intended to serve as an incentive for performance to occur over a period longer than one financial year, whether performance is measured by reference to financial performance of the Company or an affiliate, or the price of the Company's shares, but does not include option or stock appreciation rights plans, or plans for compensation through restricted shares or units".  

The Company did not award any LTIPs to any Named Executive Officer during the most recently completed financial year.

Share Options

The Company has in place a stock option plan dated for reference March 2001 (the "Plan").  The Plan has been established to promote the interests of the Company by attracting and retaining persons of outstanding competence and to develop and promote the growth and success of the Company and to encourage such parties to provide incentive to qualified parties to increase their proprietary interest in the Company and thereby encourage their continuing association with the Company.  The Plan is administered  by the directors of the Company.  The Plan provides that options will be issued pursuant to option agreements to directors, officers or employees of the Company or a subsidiary of the Company.  As at January 15, 2006, there are 1,500 Common Shares reserved for issuance under the Plan.  There are no options outstanding under the Plan.

In addition to the Plan, the Company may also grant stock options to purchase Common Shares to directors, officers and employees on terms and conditions in accordance with the policies of the Toronto Stock Exchange.  There is no formal written stock option plan for these stock options.

Individual stock options (not granted pursuant to the Plan) for up to 10% of the number of the issued and outstanding Common Shares may be granted from time to time, provided that stock options in favour of any one individual may not exceed 5% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares.

The Company has previously granted incentive stock options to directors and officers and may do so again from time to time as the directors consider advisable.  As at January 15, 2006, Michael Nasser has an outstanding incentive stock option to purchase a total of 52,500 Common Shares of the Company at a price of (Cdn) $2.83 per share exercisable until August 6, 2006.  

Shareholder approval is being sought at the Meeting to ratify and approve the granting of incentive stock options to directors, officers and employees of the Company pursuant to individual stock option agreements.

No share options were granted to the Named Executive Officers during the fiscal year ended August 31, 2005 and no share options were exercised by the Named Executive Officers during the fiscal year ended August 31, 2005.  The value of the unexercised in-the-money share options held by the Named Executive Officers at the fiscal year-end on August 31, 2005 was as follows:

No share options were repriced on behalf of the Named Executive Officers during the fiscal year ended August 31, 2005.

Stock appreciation rights ("SARs") means a right, granted by the Company or any of its subsidiaries as compensation for services rendered or in connection with office or employment, to receive a payment of cash or an issue or transfer of shares based wholly or in part on changes in the trading price of the Company's shares.  No SARs were granted to, or exercised by, any Named Executive Officer or any directors during the most recently completed financial year.

PENSION ARRANGEMENTS

The Company does not have any pension arrangements in place for the Named Executive Officer.

TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT, CHANGE IN RESPONSIBILITIES OR AND EMPLOYMENT CONTRACTS

There are no employment contracts between the Company and any Named Executive Officer.

There are no compensatory plan(s), contract(s) or arrangement(s), where any Named Executive Officer is entitled to receive more than $100,000 from the Company, including periodic payments or instalments resulting from the resignation, retirement or any other termination of employment of a Named Executive Officer's employment or from a change of control of the Company or from a change of a Named Executive Officer's responsibilities following a change in control.

REPORT ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

The Company has no Compensation Committee and the entire Board of Directors (the "Board") performs equivalent functions.

As in prior years, judgments regarding executive compensation for fiscal 2005 were based primarily upon the Board's assessment of each executive officer’s leadership performance and potential to enhance long-term shareowner value.  The Board relies upon judgment and not upon rigid guidelines or formulas or short-term changes in the share price in determining the amount and mix of compensation elements for each executive officer.

Key factors affecting the Board's judgment included the nature and scope of the executive officers’ responsibilities, their effectiveness in leading the Company's initiatives to increase customer value, productivity and growth, and their success in creating a culture of unyielding integrity and compliance with applicable law and the Company's ethics policies.  The Board also considered the compensation levels and performances of a comparison group of comparable companies that are most likely to compete with the Company for the services of executive officers.

Based upon all the factors the Board considered relevant, and in light of the Company's strong financial and operating performance in a challenging economic environment, the Board believes it was in the shareholders’ best long-term interest for the Company to ensure that the overall level of salary, bonus and other incentive compensation awards was competitive with companies in the comparison group.  Quite simply, the Board continues to believe that the quality, skills and dedication of the Company's executive leaders are critical factors affecting the long-term value of the Company.  Therefore, the Board continues to try to maintain an executive compensation program that will attract, motivate and retain the highest level of executive leadership possible.

The Board's decisions concerning the specific 2005 compensation elements for individual executive officers, including the Chief Executive Officer, were made within this framework.  The Board also considered each executive officer’s level of responsibility, performance, current salary, prior-year bonus and other compensation awards.  As noted above, in all cases the specific decisions involving 2005 executive officer compensation were ultimately based upon the Board's judgment about the individual executive officer’s performance and potential future contributions; and about whether each particular payment or award would provide an appropriate incentive and reward for performance that sustains and enhances long-term shareowner value.

The Board's basis for Mr. Boone’s compensation as President/CEO/Treasurer included the following factors and criteria, both qualitative and quantitative.  Mr. Boone's base salary was set many years ago when the Company was much smaller and less profitable and modest compensation was deemed appropriate.  Despite Mr. Boone’s strong leadership in developing and executing new corporate strategies for many years, his compensation has remained unchanged at his request.

The Board's basis for Mr. Nasser’s compensation (Corporate Secretary) included the following factors and criteria, both qualitative and quantitative.  The Board considered his level of pay and bonus appropriate for the following reasons: his execution of the Company's strategy to change its portfolio of businesses to enhance long-term investor value through better profit margins and higher returns on equity; his actions to ensure that the Company has a strong capital structure and cash flow; his role in leading the Company to solid financial results in a challenging economic environment; his actions in making the Company a leader in integrity, transparency and corporate governance; and his leadership in driving growth initiatives and reorganizing the Company's businesses around markets to simplify its operations and strengthen the relationships with its customers.  His compensation has remained unchanged because sales/profitability at Jewett Cameron Lumber Company, which is the Company's subsidiary and his primary responsibility, have been under significant economic and competitive pressure in recent years.

Employee Stock Ownership Plan

Effective August 31, 1995, the Company established an Employee Stock Ownership Plan ( the "ESOP") pursuant to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (United States) for the benefit of all U.S. employees who were employed by the Company on August 31 and who had at least 1,000 hours with the Company during fiscal 1995.  The establishment of the ESOP resulted in the Company forming a trust, which purchased from the Company's treasury 90,000 (as then constituted) Common Shares at a price of (Cdn) $5.00 per share on August 31, 1995.  

The ESOP covers all U.S. employees who are employed by the Company on August 31st of each year and who have at least one thousand hours with the Company in the twelve months preceding that date.  The ESOP grants to participants in the ESOP certain ownership rights in, but not possession of, the Common Shares of the Company held by the Trustee of the Plan.  Common Shares are allocated annually to participants in the ESOP pursuant to a prescribed formula. The amount of Common Shares allocated to each employee is equal to the employee's portion of the Company's overall payroll expressed in percentage terms.   The Company records compensation expense equal to the market price of the Common Shares acquired on the open market.  There are no un-funded liabilities.

The ESOP compensation expense (in US dollars) was $182,141 for fiscal 2005, $143,220 for fiscal 2004, $143,050 for fiscal 2003, $155,051 for fiscal 2002, and $82,530 for fiscal 2001, resulting in a total of 267,323 Common Shares being allocated for fiscal 2005, 272,089 Common Shares for fiscal 204, 245,375 for fiscal 2003 and 221,561 for fiscal 2002.

The Named Executive Officers are participants in the ESOP.  As at the fiscal year-end of August 31, 2005, 307.054 Common Shares were credited to Mr. Boone's account and 852.928 shares were credited to Mr. Nasser's account with the ESOP.  Under the terms of the ESOP, 100% of these shares are vested with the participants.

401K Plan

The Company has a 401K plan (the "401K Plan"), the terms of which call for the Company to contribute 3% of the first $100,000 of each of its employee’s income to the 401K Plan.  The Company’s aggregate contribution to the 401K Plan was $64,863, $68,142, $69,754 and $75,035 for fiscal 2005/2004/2003/2002, respectively.  There are no un-funded liabilities.

The contributions (in US dollars) for Mr. Boone were $1,080, $1,080, $990, and $1,080 for fiscal 2005/2004/2003/2002, respectively and for Mr. Nasser were $3,000, $3,000, $3,000, and $3,000 for fiscal 2004/2003/2002, respectively.   

MANAGEMENT CONTRACTS

Except as set out herein, there are no management functions of the Company which are to any substantial degree performed by a person or company other than the directors or executive officers of the Company or its subsidiaries.

INDEBTEDNESS OF DIRECTORS, EXECUTIVE OFFICERS AND SENIOR OFFICERS

No director, executive officer, employee or former director, executive officer or employee of the Company was indebted to the Company as at the date hereof or at any time during the most recently completed financial year of the Company.

INTEREST OF INFORMED PERSONS IN MATERIAL TRANSACTIONS

Alexander (Al) B. Korelin, a director of the Company, is a principal of A.B. Korelin & Associates, Inc. of Vancouver, Washington, who provided regulatory consulting services to the Company in the amount of (U.S.) $23,416 in fiscal 2005.

To the knowledge of management of the Company, no insider or nominee for election as a director of the Company nor any associate or affiliate of any insider or nominee for election as a director had any material interest in any transaction since the commencement of the Company's most recently completed financial year or in any proposed transaction which, in either case, has materially affected or would materially affect the Company or any of its subsidiaries.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE DISCLOSURE

Effective June 30, 2005, the securities regulatory authorities in Canada adopted National Instrument 58-101 – Disclosure of Corporate Governance Practices (“NI 58-101") and National Policy 58-201 – Corporate Governance Guidelines (“NP 58-201”). NP 58-201 contains a series of guidelines for effective corporate governance. The guidelines deal with such matters as the constitution and independence of corporate boards, their functions, the effectiveness and education of board members and other items dealing with sound corporate governance. These new guidelines have replaced the guidelines provided by the Toronto Stock Exchange.

The Company is also subject to the requirements of the U.S. Sarbanes-Oxley Act and requirements of Nasdaq and comparable requirements under Canadian provincial securities legislation, including those relating to the certification of financial and other information by the Company’s chief executive officer and chief financial officer; oversight of the Company’s external auditors; enhanced independence criteria for audit committee members, the pre-approval of permissible non-audit services to be performed by the Company’s external auditors; and the establishment of procedures for the anonymous submission of complaints regarding the Company’s accounting practices (commonly known as whistle blower procedures).

The Company's Board of Directors (the "Board of Directors" or "Board") believes that sound corporate governance practices are essential to the effective, efficient and prudent operation of the Company and to the enhancement of shareholder value. The Board fulfills its mandate directly and through committees at meetings or as required. Frequency of meetings may be increased and the nature of the agenda items may be changed depending on the state of the Company’s affairs and in light of opportunities and risks which the Company faces. The directors are kept informed of the Company’s operations at these meetings as well as through reports and discussions with management.

Pursuant to the requirements of NI 58-101, the Company is now required to provide disclosure in this Management Information Circular of its corporate governance practices in accordance with Form 58-101F1 which follows.

Board of Directors

The majority of the members of the Company’s Board of Directors are independent within the meaning of NI 58-201.  Mr. Korelin and Mr. Sharp are independent. The independent directors do not hold regularly scheduled meetings, at which non-independent directors and members of management are not in attendance.  However, the Board facilitates open and candid discussion among its independent directors by encouraging active participation in Board discussions and prompting them for their input on all issues brought before the Board.  

Mr. Boone acts as the Chair of the Board of Directors.  Mr. Boone is not independent as he is also an officer of the Company. As Chair, Mr. Boone is responsible for chairing all meetings of the Board, providing leadership to the Board, managing the Board , acting as a liaison between the Board  and management and representing the Company to external groups.

The Board of Directors provides leadership for its independent directors by ensuring that they understand their responsibilities and those of management and by encouraging the Board to work as a cohesive team.  

None of the directors of the Company are directors of any other reporting issuers.

The following table summaries the attendance record of each director for each meeting of the directors since September 1, 2004 until January 15, 2006:

The Board also passed written resolutions on two occasions during the past fiscal year signed by all of the directors.

Board Mandate

The Board of Directors does not have a written mandate.  The Board is responsible for the general supervision of the management of the business. The Board will discharge its responsibilities directly and through its committees, currently consisting of the Audit Committee and the Corporate Governance Committee. The Board meets on a regular basis as needed to review the business operations, corporate governance and financial results of the Company.

Position Descriptions

The Board of Directors has not developed written position descriptions for the Chair of the Board of Directors and the Chief Executive Officer.  The Chair of the Board chairs all meetings of the directors and shareholders, sets the agenda for directors meetings, initiates the calling of directors meetings and acts as a liaison between the Board and other members of management.  The Chief Executive Officer’s primary role is to manage the Company in an effective, efficient and forward-looking way and to fulfill the priorities, goals and objectives determined by the Board in the context of the Company's strategic plans, budgets and responsibilities, with a view to increasing shareholder value. The Chief Executive Officer is responsible to the Board.

The Board of Directors has not adopted position descriptions for the chair of each committee. However, the chair of each committee is responsible on an informal basis for ensuring that an agenda is set for each applicable committee meeting held and that each such committee properly discharges its mandate.

Orientation and Continuing Education

The Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for establishing measures that will be taken on behalf of the Board of Directors in connection with orienting new Board members regarding the role of the Board, its directors, the committees of the Board and the nature and operation of the Company’s business. The Corporate Governance Committee will consider making recommendations from time to time regarding the provision of continuing education for its Board members.

Code of Business Conduct and Ethics

The Company and the Board of Directors are committed to maintaining the highest standards of business conduct and ethics. The Board has adopted a code of business conduct and ethics for its directors, officers and employees, reflects the business practices and principles of behavior that support this commitment and in respect of which it monitors compliance. It is also available on the Company's Website. A copy of the Code is also available on request from the Company’s head office. There have been no material deviations from the Code requiring the filing of a material change report since its implementation.

Nomination of Directors

The Corporate Governance Committee of the Board of Directors is comprised of a majority of independent directors and is responsible for, among other things, identifying new candidates for nomination to the Board.  The Corporate Governance Committee analyses the needs of the Board when a vacancy arises and identifies and recommends candidates.  In order to encourage an objective nomination process, the Corporate Governance Committee may from time to time seek outside assistance.

Compensation

The Company does not have a compensation committee of the Board of Directors.  The Board as a whole is responsible for, among other things, making recommendations regarding appropriate compensation for the Company’s directors and executive officers. The process by which the Board determines executive compensation is set out under "Report of Executive Compensation".  Mr. Boone excuses himself from all discussions regarding executive compensation payable to the Chief Executive Officer.  There is no compensation is payable to the directors in their capacity as directors.

Board Assessments

The Board of Directors assesses its own effectiveness and performance and the effectiveness and performance of each committee of the Board. The Chair of the Board will provide oversight of the evaluation of the Board, and its committees. The Chair will receive comments from all directors and report to the Board with an assessment of the Board’s performance and any recommendations following each such review. All directors are free to make suggestions on improvement of the Board’s practice at any time and are encouraged to do so. The purpose of the Board review is to increase the effectiveness of the Board as a whole.

The Corporate Governance Committee will be responsible for reviewing with the Board, on an annual basis, the requisite skills and characteristics of prospective Board members as well as the composition of the Board as a whole. This assessment will include member’s contribution, qualification as independent, as well as consideration of diversity, age, skills and experience in the context of the needs of the Board.

Audit Committee

The Audit Committee is responsible for recommending the appointment of independent accountants; reviewing the arrangements for and scope of the audit by independent accountants; reviewing the independence of the independent accountants; considering the adequacy of the system of internal accounting controls and reviewing any proposed corrective actions; reviewing and monitoring the Company's policies relating to ethics and conflicts of interests; and discussing with management and the independent accountants the draft annual and quarterly financial statements and key accounting and/or reporting matters.

The Audit Committee is comprised of three directors, all of whom are independent directors: Ted Sharp (Chair), Alexander (Al) B. Korelin and James R. Schjelderup.  All members of the Audit Committee must meet the “independence” tests under Multilateral Instrument 52-110.
