Prime Minister David Eb announced the announcement at the convent of the Council of Forstustria in 2025 in Prince George on Friday, April 4th,
Prime Minister David EBY announced nine-axis-truck-and-trailer combinations for some BC protocol routes on Friday, April 4th, known at the Council of Forest Industries 2025 conference in Prince George.
Four months after his last visit to Prince George for the forum of natural resources from 2025 BC.
As part of the conversation, the Prime Minister said that fiber products for mills became easier and cheaper.
A media approval sent by the provincial government on the same afternoon said that the approval was granted for “some logging routes” without further details.
The province has considered the permission of the permission of nine axis years and appointed a committee to examine the security and road effects on the BC motorways at one time.
Eby told the audience that his colleague, Ontario Premier Doug Ford, had to do with threats to the automotive sector in his province, while BC's wood sector is targeted in the current US Canada trade war.
While the Ministry of forest currently has a goal of making decisions about permits within 40 days, Eby said that his government would soon try to halve this for only 20 days.
With regard to the planning tables of the forest landscape, Kim Haakstad, CEO from Cofi, stated during a question-and-answer session with EBY that several pilot projects started, but were “incredibly slow”.
Forest Landscape plans “Create clear results for the treatment of forest resource values in defined areas”, according to the province's website. These plans are developed with local governments and first nations.
“There are some opportunistic work,” said Eby.
“We work with many (first nations) in the province. Some of them are very interested in being active partners. Some interests of the forest sector are a big topic of the conversation here.
“For example, we have been working with carrier Sekani First Nations on Pathways agreement for some time. I was pretty sure that we would really have difficulty agreeing and only recently had a number of breakthroughs. I am very hopeful. It will be quite transformative for the Prince George Forest region.”
According to Haakstad, some reviews for annual cuts in forests are really old and have not been updated to reflect the effects of forest fires and trees killed by pine beetles.
Eby said that the gap in the information about the state in the province is “quite astonishing” and that the province works on scanning areas with Lidar to build a new basis. This data and others will be free of charge to Cofi and similar groups.
During his visit to Prince George, Eby said that he had meetings with both Leitratshöwen -Logan boss of Lheidli T'enneh.
Logan will soon get to know her future as a boss as Lheidli T'enneh members to choose a new chief and a new advice on Wednesday, April 9th. There are 26 people who run for eight city council positions, while Regina Toth Logan challenges the position of the boss.
