Forest Investment Council

The Minister of Forests and Range has decision-making authority for Forest Investment Programs. The Deputy Minister of Forests and Range has convened and chairs a Forest Investment Council that meets quarterly. The role of the Forest Investment Council is to make recommendations on all elements of Forest Investment programs, including objectives, parameters, and standards, financial and performance monitoring and audits, and funding allocations. The Council receives progress reports and audit results from government and private-sector administrators and is responsible for determining whether guidance or restrictions are necessary to ensure that investment choices provide the greatest contribution to sustainable forest management across the Forest Investment programs and within each program.

Highlights and Recommendations - a summary of the Forest Investment Council minutes from the most recent two meetings are updated quarterly
