Forestry Industry Important in Surrey

At the September 14th City of Surrey Council meeting, a formal declaration was approved to make September 20-26, 2020 as National Forest Week in Surrey. This year, the theme was “Healthy Forests, Healthy Future”. The City of Prince George is the only other municipality so far to have also approved this declaration.

“Surrey is the home to many wood manufacturing companies that are significant employers, such as

Teal Jones, S&R Sawmills, Pacific Lumber, Catalyst Paper, Key West and Riverside to name but a few,” said Anita Huberman, CEO, Surrey Board of

Trade. “Workers and businesses are dependent on a healthy forest sector and the City of Surrey showed some recognition at the local level.”
