‘We have concerns about opening up our protected areas to harvesting’
Area First Nations told a special legislative committee meeting in Kamloops on Thursday the province should not allow logging of every last stick of timber in order to prop up jobs. “We have concerns about opening up our protected areas to harvesting,” said Shane Gottfriedson, chief of the Tk’emlups Indian Band and chair of the Shuswap Nation Tribal Council. “It’s a short-term solution. . . . We plan for seven generations.” The committee of Liberals and New Democrats finished its tour of B.C. at a final meeting at Kamloops Coast Hotel and Conference Centre.Jul 13, 2012
