spark*activation Forestry is a solution

Letter
Dear Premier, Minister, and MLA, [representative], 

<p>As a resident who cares deeply about the future of our province, I am writing to ask for your support for the workers and families who power our forest sector. Forestry has built our communities for generations, and today, it remains one of<br />our best solutions for a stronger, more resilient British Columbia.</p><p>We don’t have to accept the closure of our local mills as an inevitability. The timber is there, and our workers and businesses are ready to work, but the path to getting wood to our mills has become too slow and uncertain. We need a made-in-BC approach that puts our people and our local expertise first.</p><p>I am calling on the Government of British Columbia to treat our forests and forestry sector as a strategic asset that provides the family-sustaining jobs our communities depend on.</p><p>To ensure a healthy future, we must:<br />- Speed up access to economic wood<br />- Improve competitiveness and cost certainty<br />- Make BC Timber Sales work as intended<br />- Support meaningful partnerships with First Nations</p><p>A thriving forest sector is about more than just timber – it is about building affordable housing, making wood products people need every day, and reducing wildfire risks in our backyard.</p><p>A thriving forest sector is about more than just timber – it is about providing the low-carbon materials we need to build affordable homes and the active management we need to protect our province from wildfires.</p><p>British Columbians deserve a forest sector that works for everyone. We have the skill, the passion, and the resources; we now need the government to provide the clear path forward.</p><p>Along with sending this letter, I will continue conversations about the future of forestry with my family and friends.</p><p>Please act with urgency.</p>
