At the BC Natural Resources Forum in Prince George, Minister of Forests Ravi Parmar announced the creation of the BC Timber Sales Review Committee, which will be tasked with addressing a variety of challenges with BC’s forestry industry, including the decline of allowable annual cuts, difficulty in accessing fibre, and environmental and trade-protection efforts.
Councillor Brian Frenkel will join the Minister, along with BC First Nations Forestry Council CEO Lennard Joe and former Cabinet Minister George Abbott, in leading the review activities, which are expected to provide actionable recommendations within six months.
Congratulations to Councillor Frenkel on this outstanding and exciting appointment; we have no doubts he will continue to make our community and our province proud.
