TORONTO— The Ontario government has launched the Roadmap to Protecting Ontario’s Forest Sector, a 10-year path to protect the workers, businesses, families and communities of the province’s forestry sector. Building on the government’s strategic investments and actions to-date through Ontario’s Forest Sector Strategy, the roadmap responds to new unprecedented trade pressures facing the sector today by increasing the forest industry’s competitive advantage and unlocking new markets to maintain Ontario’s position as a G7 leader in making and selling wood products. “Our roadmap will connect Ontario’s strong forest product supply chains to new sectors here at home and emerging markets around the world,” said Kevin Holland, Associate Minister of Forestry and Forest Products. …The government will take steps under the three pillars: Defend workers, communities and businesses…; Adapt the forest sector to be more competitive…; and Grow long-term demand for Ontario’s forestry products… The Roadmap includes the release of the Advanced Wood Construction Action Plan
