The RDCK will send a letter to the Ministry of Forests in support of the Forestry Works for BC Campaign, and of value-added and community-focused forestry. Ken Kalesnikoff, president and CEO of Kalesnikoff Lumber, made a presentation to the board in August regarding the Forestry Works for BC initiative, which seeks to raise awareness about forestry’s role in the well-being of rural and urban communities. Dr. Rachel Holt, an independent ecologist, sent a letter to the board, dated October 15. It asked the board to write a letter in support of a more diversified future. The board discussed her letter and settled on including her points on value-added and community-focused forestry. End of Story
