Lack of Government Vision is Paralyzing Contractors

"What a confusing time it is for BC’s forest industry. The lack of government’s vision is paralyzing contractors, which will have dire financial implications."

If not forestry, then what?

It’s an important question as we consider the future for our children and generations to come.

Forestry is a leader in helping pay for schools and teachers, hospitals, doctors and nurses, among many other services and programs vital for all British Columbians.
Without forestry jobs and the real living wages they pay, our province’s standard of living would decline for hard working families and our communities.

No other industry can replace the value of our forest sector.
