Great to spend time with Susan Yurkovich and the Canfor team, alongside representatives from @PPWCUnion local 9 and @UniforTheUnion local 603 & 1133, at Canfor’s Northwood Pulp and Specialty Paper facilities.
These two facilities alone support 800 good-paying jobs.

Communities like Prince George are the heart of our forest industry. I stand with Mayor Yu in saying that forestry is a strategic asset for Canada.
We are going to restore confidence in this sector, moving forestry from boom & bust to long-term stability.

There is no history of forestry in BC, without Prince George.
One of my top priorities ahead of the Natural Resources Forum, was meeting with the Mayor and Council.
Communities like Prince George must have a say in the direction we’re headed.

The tariffs imposed by Trump have had a significant impact on B.C.’s and Canada’s forestry sector.
We support this renewed MOU between Canada and China. I travelled to Japan and South Korea in 2025 where multiple MOUs were signed and relationships were forged.

was nearly a year ago that we announced a full review of BC Timber Sales. The review concluded with 54 recommendations of what we need to do.
We began implementing them immediately.
BCTS must be a partner of choice, and work with forestry businesses across BC.

At the end of 2025, BCTS had sold 25% more volume than they did in 2024.
There is certainly more work to do, but this is positive progress. Through BCTS, we’re utilizing more of our apportioned timber, to get local logs to local mills.
