A Better Future for B.C. Forestry
B.C.’s forestry sector remains a cornerstone of the provincial economy, providing over 44,000 direct jobs and supporting nearly 100,000 more in related industries. Under the B.C. NDP, steps have been taken to stabilize the industry.
The B.C. NDP has focused on stabilizing the industry and rebuilding a more resilient sector by prioritizing worker protection and sustainable harvesting.
In contrast, previous governments implemented short-sighted forestry policies that neglected sustainability, contributing to the crisis the industry faces today. BC Conservative leader John Rustad was in Christy Clark’s cabinet for six years and did nothing to improve conditions for B.C.’s many forestry communities.
