Tolko Industries Ltd. is in the process of preparing the 2005 Annual Harvest and Renewal Plan. The plan describes harvesting, reforestation and road development activities planned for Tolko Manitoba's Forest Management Licence Area in 2005. The plan will be submitted to Manitoba Conservation for approval this fall. We are holding a number of public community consultation meetings to provide an opportunity for those who have an interest in these operations to learn more about the activities proposed for 2005 and to discuss their interest and concerns. Also during each public community meeting a Tolko representative will present a brief overview on the draft Tolko Canadian Standards Association (CSA) Sustainable Forest Management (SFM) Plan. The plan has been under development over the past year and through the help of a citizens advisory committee a total of 48 indicators were formed around local values, objectives and targets. The plan is based on the CSA Z809-02 standard. Tolko is seeking public comments and concerns on the draft CSA SFM plan before it is finalized. Tolko will be seeking a third party audit of the plan this fall. A meeting will be held in Snow Lake on June 10 at 7 p.m. at the Elks Hall, in Flin Flon June 14 at 7 p.m. at the Library, and in Cranberry Portage on June 17 at 7 p.m. at the Legion Hall.
