PRINCE GEORGE — A forum to discuss the future of the forestry industry was held at UNBC’s Canfor Theatre Tuesday night.
By all accounts, the event was well attended, with over 100 people watching from home online, and around 200 in person.
Mayor Simon Yu, Prince George-Mackenzie MLA Mike Morris, Mayor of Mackenzie Joan Atkinson, Chuck LeBlanc from the PPWC, Ben Parfitt, a policy analyst with the CCPA and others all spoke at the event discussing what the future of forestry looks like in British Columbia, but in particular Northern BC, with recent announcements that PG Pulp will be closing in March, to the sawmill in Houston slated to be shut down as well.
