As National Forest Week is celebrated across the country, Forest Products Association of Canada (FPAC) is pleased to announce the winners of its annual Awards of Excellence program. The 2023 program recognizes outstanding individuals, organizations, and partnerships that exemplify innovation, sustainability, and leadership in sustainable Canadian forestry. “The FPAC Awards of Excellence program is our way of paying tribute to the exceptional people who are making a difference in forestry communities across Canada,” said Derek Nighbor, FPAC President and CEO. “It is an opportunity to not only recognize these dedicated people and organizations, but also to remind Canadians of the important role that active forest management plays in reducing carbon emissions, keeping communities safer from fire, and creating and sustaining hundreds of thousands of family-supporting jobs in hundreds of Indigenous and non-Indigenous communities across the country,” he added.
