Vaughn Palmer: Unions report on NDP failings in response to forestry crisis

The NDP government response to the continuing crisis in the B.C. forest sector has been “inadequate,” “scatter gun” and “delivered with little attention to the need for an overall strategy to sustain the industry.”
So said a trio of forest sector unions in a report released this week that Premier David Eby himself acknowledged as a wake-up call for the NDP in an election year.
The report, A Better Future for B.C. Forestry, details a crisis across the B.C. industry including harvesting, pulp and paper, and manufacturing.

Revolutionizing B.C. forests

Focusing on sustainable practices for fire-resilient communities

"Forests are not just static timber reserves; they are dynamic ecosystems that require careful management to maintain their health and biodiversity. We just experienced the largest forest fire season in modern times. The importance for fire-proofing every community across Canada cannot be overstated. We have the option of spending billions to fight or invest millions in prevention."

BC First Nations Forestry Council Perspective with Lennard Joe

"I am witnessing a change in how we approach the issues. In the past, we worked in our silos; First Nations met with the Province, and industry met separately with the Province and First Nations. It has only been recently that we are all meeting together in one big room. At these meetings, we are continuously working on developing our relationships and trust as we work to find solutions for some very serious issues. I believe this will be the only way that we can effectively move forward."

Congratulations to all of our scholarship students!

The TLA has been awarding scholarships for over 40 years. Funds are raised for the TLA’s Forestry Education Fund through the live and silent auctions held each year at the TLA’s annual Convention + Trade Show. This money supports ongoing forestry education programs and scholarships. We couldn’t support these scholarships without the support of our members who donate items to the TLA’s auctions and the members who purchase items at the auction.

Did you know? 🌲🌲

Canada, and the province of British Columbia, were quick to adopt forest certification, from its inception nearly two decades ago.

Canada accounts for almost 36 percent of all certified forests globally—the largest of any country worldwide. More than 85 percent of British Columbia’s Crown forestland have been certified by one of three bodies.

That’s the same amount of certified forests as Norway, Germany, Brazil and Sweden combined.
