‘We need action’: Mayor of Mackenzie takes aim at Victoria over inaction on forestry in Northern BC
PRINCE GEORGE — A mayor of a community deeply impacted by recent changes in the forestry industry says that there needs to be policy reform and changes in legislation, and that the province needs to take strong action to protect jobs and communities.
It was less than a month ago when the Province announced that the forestry industry would remain a top priority at the Natural Resources Forum with the announcement of funding through the BC Manufacturing Jobs Fund, but the North was mainly absent from the announcement. Minister of Jobs, Economic Development and Innovation Brenda Bailey said that the Fund was designed to help communities.
