                       Saturday, Jan. 23

                Scarfe Auditorium, University of BC


Many communities across BC face the challenge of maintaining community
stability amidst rapidly changing perspectives on how forest land should
be managed for timber production, the traditional economic force in many
BC communities. These communities want to be resilient and flexible to
florish during changing times. There are concerns about potential for
maintaining the biological, economic and social stability of these
communities through current forest practices. The objective of this
symposium is to create a forum for learning and discussion about how
BC's forests could be managed to promote community stability.


This symposium will be of interest to all British Columbians who have a
stake in the forests and communities of this province. Community leaders
and planners, representatives of the environmnetal groups and native
organization, forest land managers, academics, students and officials
from the Ministries of Forests, Economic Development, and Environmnet
are encouraged to attend this symposium.
