Join us in the studio as we continue our exploration of British Columbia’s forestry industry with Linda Coady, former CEO of the BC Council of Forest Industries. Coady has held several influential roles, including Chief Sustainability Officer at Enbridge Inc., Vice-President of Sustainability for the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Games, and Vice-President for the Pacific Region at WWF-Canada. In this episode, we delve into the impacts of the War in the Woods and the evolution of conservation and reconciliation in coastal B.C. and across Canada. Drawing on her extensive experience in the forestry sector, Coady offers insights into the complex history that laid the groundwork for joint solutions between industry, the provincial government, and Indigenous communities. We explore lessons learned from past conservation and reconciliation efforts, and how these lessons can guide us through today’s political and economic uncertainties.
