Forest Tenure meetings this week

The Ontario Government's forest tenure reform will be the main topic of discussion at a pair of meetings

this week.

The first public hearing will take place in Thunder Bay today before moving to Dryden tomorrow.

Harold Wilson is the chief operating officer of the Northwestern Ontario Associated Chambers of Commerce and says they're not sure what to make of the new initiative.

The Ontario Forest Industries Association has been very vocal against the plan and feels it will jeopardize the future of the industry.
