Page 8, Terrace Bay-Schreibar News, Wednesday, May 7, 1986 Bail-out of one-industry towns not necessary: OFIA In Timmins last night, the president of the Ontario Forest Industries Associat- ion said there will be no need for costly bail-out programs for northern communities like Terrace Bay which depend upon the forest industry for survival if the Ontario government is prepared to ensure sound forest management. In a speech to the Timm- ins Chamber of Comm- erce, Ian D. Bird said such forest management in- cludes protection, renewal, and release from weed competition. "For the forest resource communities, I can say that the forest resource is re- newable under sound man- agement," he explained. According to an article dated for release on May 6, Bird told the audience at the meeting that tending of the new forest to release it from competing vegitation is the most essential ele- ment in the forest manage- ment process. In discussing forest in- dustry concerns, Bird listed these as being oversupply of pulp and paper products in world markets, curren- cy exchange rates, protect- ionism, competitiveness, and wood supply. Solutions for these con- cerns are feasible, he said, 'providing our govern- ments can foster a favour- able investment climate... (which) must be stable and Forests must be kept May 4-10 is National Forest Week. Across Canada, various groups and individuals will be do- ing their thing to observe it. Special meetings are being held. Exhibits set up. Speeches made. Open houses held. The sponsor, the Ontario Forestry Association, has an active program planned. Forests -- green grow- ing forests -- conjure up all sorts of ideas in an active mind. Hikers, campers, anglers, hunters, trappers, bird-watchers, outfitters, foresters, investors, lan- downers, loggers, lovers, naturalists, teachers, students, politicians and a host of other "publics"' dream forest dreams and have their forest nightmares. Logging, spraying, preserving, zoning, pro- viding access, creating parks, securing wood, preventing fire, replanting, measuring, mapping and a host of other activities relate to forests. Add too the topics of trade, jobs, taxes, mills, fun, aesthetics, wildlife, watershed protection, and you begin to round out the forest picture. We're lucky in Ontario. We have been blessed with a rich forest heritage. It has changed a lot. It has helped keep us growing even as we used it. We need'to be sure we return the favour. National Forest Week is a time to think, to learn, and to take stock of the im- portance of forests to us. It is time to plan for tomor- row's forests, too. Ontario Forestry Association predictable with mean- ingful consultation with in- dustry of contemplated changes in government dir- ection."' Bird indicated that forest management agreements and the basic principle of prompt forest renewal after harvest must be extended to cover the remaining Crown forest not under agreement. Current forest management agreements cover 60 per cent of the licenced forest land in the province, acc- ording to the release. The OFIA represents most of the forest products industry in Ontario.
