Annual Reports

2006-07 Annual Report: The 2006-07 fiscal year marked the fifteenth and final year of the Canadian Model Forest program, and of the McGregor Model Forest. Our continued work delivering projects with our partners was interlaced with significant operational changes. As well, we worked in partnership with numerous organizations to build an impressive proposal that was successful in securing funding from the CFS’ Forest Communities Program for 2007-2012. This marks the commencement of the Resources North Association.

Creating a Balance

In 2003 the Integrated Resource Management Business Group (IRMBG) published the booklet Creating a Balance, to promote sustainable resource management (SRM). "Preserving and sustaining the natural environment is the cornerstone of SRM, and SRM planners carefully consider many values, including biodiversity, wildlife habitat, old-growth forests, species at risk, air quality, carbon sequestration, and conservation of soil and water.

First Nation Youth Programs in Natural Resources

Over the summer of 2005 the former McGregor Model Forest hired Brandon Prince of the Tl’azt’en Nation to complete a report titled “First Nation Youth Programs in the Natural Resource Sector of British Columbia" (PDF). This report explores the “best practices" for development and facilitation of programs for first nation youth. It includes programs or training initiatives which are aimed at increasing the participation of first nation youth in the natural resource sector of BC. An overview of five case studies provides examples of best practices for youth programs. The report is intended to provide better understanding of the involvement of first nation youth in the natural resource sector and how we can increase this participation through education and training programs.
