Kamloops council is hoping it will have the support of other provincial municipalities to lobby the B.C. government for a permanent, province-wide forestry sector council and a plan for stable and sustainable fibre supply. Council voted in favour of a motion put forward Tuesday by Coun. Katie Neustaeter, which recommended submitting the forestry-focused resolution to the Union of B.C. Municipalities convention this fall. Neustaeter said the resolution calls on UBCM to lobby the provincial government to “enact measures for a stronger B.C. forest sector.” This includes “creating a permanent province wide forestry sector council, developing a province wide plan for stable, sustainable economic fibre supply, creating a forest adjustment bureau to redesign and integrate worker and community adjustment supports, and developing a strategy to maximize value added jobs for stable fibre harvesting.”
