Forestry Economic Downturn
Status
Endorsed by the NCLGA and UBCM Memberships
Whereas curtailments of local sawmills in BC have exhibited the potential of creating a significant economic downturn to the residents of BC, the local government’s tax base, and extending to the province;
And whereas limited access of local forestry industries to timber continues to incite more aggravated downturn on the wellbeing of BC rural communities:
Therefore it be resolved that NCLGA and UBCM lobby the provincial and federal Government to provide significant support to rural British Columbians by reviewing the selling of Timber Licenses and requiring that timbers be kept within the designated Timber Supply Area in order to maintain economic stability and forestry longevity in BC rural communities.
