First Nations and Industry demand change in policy
PRINCE GEORGE – The Chiefs of the Lheidli T’enneh and Simpcw First Nations today called on the BC Government to approve cutting permits to help the beleaguered forest industry. The industry continues to struggle from a reduced timber supply and higher costs associated with harvesting, hauling and lumber production.
Lheidli T’enneh Chief Dolleen Logan and Simpcw First Nation Kukpi7 George Lampreau state that government delays in issuing cutting permits is making a tough situation even worse.
