Directors were mostly in favour of sending a letter to the Ministry of Forests in support of the Forestry Works for BC campaign, but will put off the final decision until October. Ken Kalesnikoff, president and CEO of Kalesnikoff Lumber, made a presentation to the board last month regarding the initiative, which seeks to raise awareness about forestry’s role in the well-being of rural and urban communities. Some directors didn’t want to stick to the template letter of support on Forestry Works for BC’s website, and hoped to include specific values of the board such as forestry’s role in wildfire mitigation and fibre diversion. Other directors thought the template was fine. Staff will draft a letter for directors to discuss during the October meeting. [END]
