RELEASED
1994

 

During the summer and fall of 1990, the NRTEE consulted with the main national stakeholders in the Canadian forest sector to invite them to join a round table dialogue on sustainable development. Some 25 stakeholder groups comprised a broad range of interests assembled to represent all of the values inherent in the forest. Participants agreed on, and worked toward, three objectives:

  • (1) Develop a common vision and principles for sustainable development in Canada’s forests.
  • (2) Each stakeholder agency to develop action plans for its own contribution to sustainable development.
  • (3) Recommendations to governments and other jurisdictions with regard to policies and actions for sustainable development
