There are 13 recipients of the BC Council of Forest Industries (COFI) scholarships and three are from the area. Dorthy Stewart and Tyler Emberley from Prince George and Tyler Fenton from Quesnel will each receive $2,000 to support their studies at post-secondary learning institutions in BC. COFI established its forestry scholarship in 2007 with the goal of encouraging young people to choose professional, technical, or trades careers in the forest sector.  “We are proud to support and celebrate these future leaders of the forest industry as they pursue their educational journeys and careers” Susan Yurkovich, president & CEO of COFI, said. “These students will play a vital role in B.C.’s forest industry, helping ensure we continue to keep our forests healthy and produce carbon-friendly products that are good for the planet.”
