Whereas
Forestry is one of the largest resource industries in Alberta; and,
Whereas
Our forest provides us with renewable resources that can be used such as paper, facial tissue, toilet paper, lumber and building materials for our homes; and,
Whereas
Forestry companies are using wood residuals like sawdust and woodchips to generate power ; and,
Whereas
Animals and insects rely on the forest as a place to live and humans rely on the forest for recreation, wood products, and oxygen; and,
Whereas
Forestry provides local youth with educational and career opportunities; and,
Whereas
Communities connect with local forestry resources to train our future generations
Be it Resolved
That the Mayor and Council of the Town of Peace River hereby procliam November 8, 2017 as “Forestry Appreciation Day,” in the Town of Peace River.
