We are pleased to advise you that the BC Council of Forest Industries (COFI) and the Coast Forest Products Association (CFPA) have decided to come together as one organization to create a stronger, unified voice for the BC forest industry. …By coming together under the BC Council of Forest Industries, the industry will work together across regions to advocate on behalf of the forest sector, its workers and the 140 communities that depend on the forest sector through their mills, operating facilities, silviculture, and logging operations. …The organizational change will be effective April 1, 2018. Until that time, COFI and CFPA will continue to operate independently, and our members and staff will work collaboratively to ensure a smooth transition.
