Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Canada is experiencing an unparalleled crisis involving forests and communities across the country. While municipalities, policy makers, and industry leaders acknowledge common challenges such as an overdependence on US markets, rising energy costs, and lack of diversification, no common set of solutions has been developed and implemented. Ongoing and at times contentious public debate has revealed an appetite and need for a fundamental rethinking of the relationships that link our communities, governments, industrial partners, and forests towards a more sustainable future. The creation of community forests is one path that promises to build resilience in forest communities and ecosystems. This model provides local control over common forest lands in order to activate resource development opportunities, benefits, and social responsibilities. Implementing community forestry in practice has proven to be a complex task, however: there are no road maps or well-developed and widely-tested models for community forestry in Canada. But in settings where community forests have taken hold, there is a rich and growing body of experience to draw on. The contributors to Growing Community Forests include leading researchers, practitioners, Indigenous representatives, government representatives, local advocates, and students who are actively engaged in sharing experiences, resources, and tools of significance to forest resource communities, policy makers, and industry.

Download or read book A Quantitative Assessment of Aboriginal Involvement in the Canadian Forest Industry written by and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It was also intended to help evaluate trends in the forest sector since the inception of the First Nations Forestry Program in 1996, as well as the release of the Report of the Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples the same year. [...] The following are the project's core objectives: 1) To describe the types of Aboriginal involvement in the Canadian forest industry; 2) To describe the trends of Aboriginal involvement in the number and types of initiatives; 3) To evaluate training and mentoring success; and, 4) To assess trends in education and employment levels attained by Aboriginal staff. [...] The next set of tables and figures present a snapshot of training and mentoring of Aboriginal employees and contractors in the forest sector. [...] The number of total employees across all sectors showed the same trend: the higher the level of seniority, the fewer the number of Aboriginal employees - although this is seen across other industries as well for many demographic groups. [...] We have appreciated the opportunity to work on this important initiative with Natural Resources Canada, and we look forward to working with you in the future for the development of First Nations and the forest industry.

Download or read book Changing the Culture of Forestry in Canada written by Marc G. Stevenson and published by University of Alberta Press. This book was released on 2009-01-01 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Existing institutions and rules of engagement for sustainable forest management (SFM) in Canada are not designed to accommodate the rights or interests of its Aboriginal peoples. In recognition of this, there has emerged a community of Aboriginal partners and academic researchers committed to changing forestry practices, institutions, and policies. They have collectively undertaken research to address the needs, rights, and interests of forest-dependent Aboriginal communities, with the intention of producing knowledge and skill sets needed to reform forest and resource development sectors. This is the first of two volumes that will highlight the most current and critical research undertaken by this community of practice. While this book and upcoming companion volume are aimed directly at Canada's forest sector, the implications of this research should be of considerable interest and value to all who have a vested interest in natural resource development and management on lands where Aboriginal peoples assert constitutionally protected rights and interests. By attempting to create the ethical space for Aboriginal peoples in building new institutions and policies for their engagement in SFM, this volume addresses some of the most pressing environmental and social issues that Canadians face today.
