SIGY
has received annual funding from various
provincial government sources since 1999.
Initial funding was provided by Forest
Renewal BC. With transition to the BC Forest
Investment Account (FIA) in 2002-03, SIGY
now receives funding through the FIA Land
Base Program. FIA funding currently comes
through licensee allocation transfers to
an FIA Investment Schedule administered
by West Fraser Mills Ltd. (Quesnel Div)
on behalf of the Co-op. Annual licensee
assessments are proportional to the Allowable
Annual Cut of member-held Replaceable Forest
Licensee in the Southern Forest Region.
Government resource ministries also provide
in-kind Co-op support outside FIA, such
as website hosting.
