An unprecedented coalition bringing together First Nations, unions and environmental, tourism and wildlife organizations is seeking to lay the foundations for a unifying project that will ensure the future of Quebec’s forests. This initiative, presented in an open letter published in La Presse, focuses on concertation as a means of building a more resilient forestry sector that creates good jobs, respects the rights of First Nations and is committed to protecting the environment. Unifor’s Quebec director Daniel Cloutier, one of the letter’s signatories, also delivered this message during a news report by Radio-Canada. This project is the direct outcome of the consultation process launched by Unifor in 2024 with the creation of an inter-union council and the organization of the Union Forestry Summit in Chicoutimi in May 2025.
