“In and around Prince George and the North, people understand the importance of this fundamental sector and how important it is for so many people who deriver their livelihoods from it,” says Susan Yurkovich, President & CEO of the Council of Forest Industries. “But I think what’s going to be surprising to those in the Lower Mainland, in Richmond, Burnaby, New Westmionster, Surrey, is just the concentration of forest sector activity that’s also taking place in those communities.”

All totalled, nearly 9,900 suppliers from more than 340 communities provided $7 billion worth of goods and services to BC’s forest industry.
