Jeff Kibble, MP for Cowichan-Malahat-Langford, will host a Forestry Workers Town Hall on March 5 to speak about the crisis facing workers and towns hit by mill closures. Forestry workers, union members, industry stakeholders, government representatives, and affected community members are invited to come together for the town hall, which will be held at Duncan Meadows Golf Course beginning at 6:30 p.m., and discuss the issues. The panel at the event will be chaired by Kibble, and leaders from government, industry and labour will join the discussion to listen directly to worker concerns, acknowledge the human cost of shutdowns, and work toward meaningful, community-driven solutions. He said the town hall will focus on real impacts, from job loss to community sustainability, and explore concrete steps forward, including support programs, policy reforms, and coordinated industry-government-union action.
