Paul Whittaker, President and CEO of the AFPA, noted that the forest industry has a large impact on Alberta’s economy. “There are over 13,000 Albertans who work directly in the industry and thousands more who benefit from the economic activity that we generate. During the recent economic downturn the industry has continued to grow and help to diversify Alberta’s economy. All of this is possible because we have a strong partnership with government to manage our forests sustainably.”
The Alberta Forest Products Association is a private, non-profit industry organization, representing lumber, panelboard, pulp and paper, and secondary manufacturing wood products companies operating in Alberta.
