“BC Timber Sales staff are focused on assisting with the fire-fighting effort and all helicopter services are currently devoted to the fires,” said Audit Director, Chris Mosher. “We don’t want to divert any attention or resources away from the fires and so we have decided to wait until August 11, 2014, before beginning the audit field work. We will reassess the fire situation at that time and decide if we will proceed on this new schedule.”
