NOVA SCOTIA — It has not been a good month to work in Cumberland County’s forests. It was at about this time last month when Nova Scotia Premier Stephen McNeil stepped up to the mike at Province House and announced his government would not support extending the 2015 Boat Harbour Act. …It seems with one announcement the premier has thrown the province’s forest industry into disarray and told those who have invested millions of dollars into growing their companies that it was all for naught. …It would be easy for foresters and those employed by the industry in any way to simply throw their hands up in surrender, but there is an effort gathering steam across the county to look for ways to take a stand as an industry. Led by the Athol Forestry Co-operative and the region’s two MLAs.
