BC has announced a $90 million fund to create manufacturing jobs in the forest industry of the province.
The announcement came after the recent announcement that up to 300 people will be relieved of their positions at a Prince George pulp and paper mill.
The new Fund aims to offer supportive investment and innovation to the industry, which has witnessed several hundred people put out of work owing to cuts and curtailments across the province recently.
While announcing the development, BC Premier David Eby said: “We need to get more good-paying jobs from our forests and every resource in our province.”
The Premier announced the new fund during the BC Natural Resources Forum, an annual gathering of industry and political leaders held in Prince George.
