October 17, 2025 | River Rock Casino Resort, Richmond | Join us at the Coastal Currents – Forestry Fibre Flow Forum to connect with local primary sawmillers and value-added manufacturers, dive into fibre flow realities, explore regional challenges, and discover new pathways to collaboration and partnership. Together, we will:

  • Get to know local sawmillers and manufacturers for future partnerships.
  • Understand fibre flow, constraints, and access opportunities.
  • Investigate regional challenges and strategies to support value-added manufacturers.
  • Promote First Nations involvement in the value-added space.
  • Explore fibre flow opportunities for Nations entering manufacturing or supply agreements.

An outcome of the Value-added Accelerators, this Forum focuses on advancing value-added manufacturing on British Columbia’s Coast. The Accelerators, launched in 2023, bring together the BC First Nations Forestry Council, BC Value-added Wood Coalition, BC Council of Forest Industries (COFI), and the Ministry of Forests, including BC Timber Sales.
