A new public awareness campaign has been launched to raise the profile of the forest industry.
More than 45-organizations are involved in the “It Takes A Forest” initiative.
Jenny Tallman is the Chair of the Central Canada SFI Implementation Committee and she talks about the importance of the sector.
“Provides good jobs, it provides the access that we’re building, whether we’re using roads to get into the forest, those are publicly accessible roads, it provides access for recreation for the canoeists, and hunting and fishing.”
She adds forestry is a mainstay of the northern economy.
You can learn more by listening to Northwest Monitor tomorrow morning at 6am, on 99.9 The Bay.
