Vernon – Today Minister Steve Thomson, Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations, stood up for forest contractors and the communities they live in when he announced a $1 million top up to the Forestry Service Providers Compensation Fund at the Interior Logging Association’s 57th Annual Conference and Trade Show in Vernon, BC. With leaders from the three BC logging associations in attendance, they took the opportunity to thank Minister Thomson in person.
