This week is National Forrest Week. It is an an opportunity for Canadians to recognize the fundamental role of forests and trees in our lives. Canada’s forests account for 10 percent of the world’s forest cover, and over 150 million of our nearly 400 million hectares of forests are internationally certified as sustainably managed — far more than in any other country in the world. Canada’s forest industries directly employ more than 200,000 workers across Canada — many in rural and northern communities that are dependent on the forest sector. We are helping to protect and create jobs in Canada’s forest industries by strengthening the sector’s competitiveness and resilience through initiatives that are aimed at developing advanced technologies and value-added forest products. By making strategic investments that strike a balance between environmental and economic needs, our government is ensuring that Canada’s vast natural forests will continue to play a major role in our community.
