THUNDER BAY — In a time where the forestry sector is under threat, industry stakeholders from across the country are gathering in the city to connect, talk about issues and learn from each other. The Canadian Institute of Forestry’s national conference and 117th annual general meeting is taking place at the Thunder Bay Delta Hotels from Oct. 5-8. The theme of the conference, Finding Opportunity in Complexity, is extremely appropriate at this point in time in Canada in general, but also in the forestry industry, said Curtis Cook, the Canadian Institute of Forestry’s executive director. …With all of these great minds in one place for the week, he said, they’re going to come up with some solutions, some innovations and have some really good conversations going forward.
