Local residents are invited to share their input on the development of the West Central Vancouver Island (WCVI) Forest Landscape Plan (FLP), which will guide long-term forest management in the area.

ʼNa̱mǥis First Nation and the Province are one step closer to a joint decision-making agreement that will support predictable harvesting, job creation and sustainable forestry operations on the north Island.

Premier David Eby has issued the following statement in response to the United States’ decision to impose tariffs on Canadian timber and lumber, through Section 232 of the U.S. Trade Expansion Act:

The communities of Vanderhoof, Fort St. James and Fraser Lake will be better able to manage forest resources, protect against wildfires and secure local forestry jobs with the expansion of community forests in these areas.

Four new buildings in B.C. are each receiving $500,000 — totalling $2 million — to demonstrate and showcase the benefits of mass-timber construction.

Premier David Eby is travelling to New York to promote B.C. as a leading destination for investment in clean energy and the critical minerals that are powering the transition to a sustainable, innovation-driven economy.

Nine more forestry companies are being supported to modernize, innovate and diversify their product lines and fibre sources to make more high-value, made-in-B.C. products, and help protect and create jobs.
