Objectives and Targets for 2015: Canfor

Forestry and Manufacturing

  • Reduce the number of riparian management incidents by 10%.
  • Reduce the number of occurrences of sedimentation and/or disruption of water flow in fish bearing streams by 10%.

  • Host community events in all of our operating communities.
  • Meet with mayor of each operating community.
  • Establish high school scholarships for forestry and trades related studies in all of our operating communities.
