Forest Products Association of Canada (FPAC) announces Amy Oester of Nazko First Nation and Grace Currie of the Métis Nation of British Columbia as recipients of the 2025 Skills Awards for Indigenous Youth. This honour celebrates young Indigenous leaders who are interested in careers in the forest sector and demonstrating a strong commitment to their communities. Presented in partnership with the Canadian Council of Forest Ministers (CCFM), this award recognizes Indigenous youth between the ages of 18 and 30 who are enrolled in post-secondary programs and actively contributing to the future of sustainable forest management in Canada. Winners are determined based on leadership skills, community involvement, and their interest in forestry. Both recipients have begun their career in forestry with West Fraser.
