Large and small, BC’s municipalities are forest towns

In episode four of ForestWorks' second season, Port McNeill Mayor Gaby Wickstrom and Vancouver City Councillor Lisa Dominato share their thoughts on where BC forestry is headed.

Mayor Gaby Wickstrom of Port McNeill and Vancouver City Councillor Lisa Dominato.

Welcome to ForestWorks, the show that talks about all things forestry — the people, the stories and the places of British Columbia’s single largest industry.

ForestWorks is brought to you by Resource Works, looking at how responsible development of British Columbia’s natural resources creates jobs and incomes throughout the province, both directly and indirectly, while maintaining a clean and healthy environment.

This week on ForestWorks we speak with two local politicians elected to serve the interests of very different communities: Port McNeill and the City of Vancouver. Both, however, are forest towns with deep ties to the industry. And both our guests have concerns about where BC is headed.

Join us every Monday morning for a new episode of ForestWorks on your favourite podcasting app. Or tune in to your local radio station for special episodes about the people, places, and stories of this important and often complicated industry that drives the BC economy.
