Potential Changes to Environmental Species Act
Public support is needed to ensure forestry jobs remain in place in
northern Ontario. That's the message behind a Northwestern Ontario
Municipal Association campaign to keep proposed regulation changes in

Canfield says the changes strike a balance between protecting the
environment and helping the forest industry.
