The Northwestern Ontario Municipal Association has mixed feelings about the
provincial government's plan to overhaul the forest tenure system.
Public meetings were held in May over a proposal to set up corporations
to handle forest management issues.
Anne Krassilowski is president of NOMA and says each community in the
region has different ideas on what they want to be done, but all are united
in the fact that they don't want any limits on the access to wood fiber.
Krassilowski says their main goal is to ensure that no more mills in northwestern
Ontario are closed as a result in changes to the forest tenure system.
