Area Planning Committee

The Friends of Egmont attended last night's District A Area Planning Committee meeting and presented Tsain-Ko's Forest Development Corporation's logging map to the committee members. They took a keen interest. So much so, that they passed a motion to ask the SCRD to contact Tsain-Ko to learn more and to have the issue put on the June 14th SCRD Planning Committee agenda. We now have the attention of our local government agencies.

As interesting point was raised at last night's meeting. According to District A Director, John Rees, who sits on the APC, forest companies have as a rule submitted their logging plans to the regional government. However, Tsain-Ko Forest Development Corportaion has not done so. Last night's motion should correct this oversight on Tsain-Ko's part.

As I post on this blog, a question keeps popping up in my mind. What do the words "Forest Development" in Tsain-Ko Forest Development Corporation's name mean?
