Vancouver is the chosen venue for the triennial global Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) General Assembly, the organization’s highest decision-making forum, taking place from October 8-13, 2017. Over 800 delegates from over 80 countries representing the environmental, social and economic chambers of FSC are expected to attend this important event to discuss the direction of FSC’s policies regarding global responsible forest management. Canada’s Boreal Forests will be one of the key topics discussed and this year’s GA is honoured to hear from representatives of Canadian federal and provincial governments who will deliver speeches during the event.
