B.C. Premier David Eby visits Campbell River to be part of the official signing of a forestry agreement between the Nanwakolas Council and Western Forest Products. Eby highlights the significance of the agreement and hopes to replicate it across the province.
When B.C. Premier David Eby walked in to the Starbucks at Quinsam Crossing, he was followed by a coterie of other MLAs, assistants and RCMP.
“Its really a template for what we hope to do across the province: agreements between Nations and forestry supported by the local community where there’s economic development and opportunity and stability particularly for the forest industry, which we know is facing a lot of challenges right now around price and availability of trees.
“It’s a pretty dire situation across the province,” Eby said. “There’s a lot of parts of the province in the most extreme level of drought we’ve had a lot of fires burning over the winter under the snow. Wildfire and disaster management is not the only concern on the minds of North Islanders going into the 2024 election season. Eby acknowledged the overdose crisis, the healthcare crisis, affordability and housing, saying that these problems are bigger than even B.C.
