Mattawa, ON – The Canadian Institute of Forestry (CIF-IFC) and the Association of Professional Biology of British Columbia (APB) have recently signed a Letter of Understanding to coordinate on matters of mutual benefit to members. “The CIF-IFC is very pleased to join the APB in this exciting partnership,” stated Brad Epp, CIF- IFC President. “Both of our organizations have a shared vision to inform and educate the public and government on how we apply science and best practices in our respective fields.” The Letter of Understanding signed by both the CIF-IFC and APB covers three main areas: Collaboration, Services to Members, and Cooperation at Events. Earlier this year, the College of Applied Biology and the Association of BC Forest Professionals announced a collaboration agreement to establish a joint regulatory panel. Through the signing of the Letter of Understanding, the CIF-IFC and AFB will continue the momentum of this type of collaboration.
