Making sure forestry is not forgotten in favor of mining.Kenora mayor Dave Canfield is continuing to fight for more mills to become operational in the region.
Canfield says the province has to seize the opportunity with BC mills suffering due to the Mountain Pine Beetle.
Local leaders recently discussed the issue with the premiere and cabinet ministers at a meeting in Timmins.
Canfield notes the prices in commodities like gold continue to drop in price and that makes forestry the strongest option in the here and now.
