PRINCE GEORGE, BC – Today, at the BC Natural Resources Forum (NRF), a broad coalition of forestry workers, community leaders, and industry representatives officially launched a new province-wide platform: “Forestry is a Solution”. The coalition is asking British Columbians to voice their support for the workers and families that depend on forestry – a sector that is vital to the province’s heritage and its future. “British Columbia has the forests, the workers, and the expertise to lead the world, yet the sector currently faces significant headwinds from global competition, challenging operating conditions, and damaging U.S. trade actions,” the coalition stated. “This campaign is about homegrown solutions that use our resources to solve our most urgent challenges—from building affordable housing to reducing wildfire risks in our backyard”. The initiative centers on a new digital hub, forestryisasolution.com, which allows supporters to engage directly with provincial decision-makers.
