Primary and secondary research was undertaken to deliver a labour market study upon which a human resource plan for the British Columbia (BC) forest sector may be developed. Primary research activities undertaken included a survey of employers, contractors and Aboriginal organizations operating within the BC forest industry, as well as consultations with forestry and logging operators, suppliers of forestry equipment and services to the industry, and representatives of the BC government with responsibility for forest management. Secondary research data was provided through Statistics Canada, Natural Resources Canada, BC Stats, BC Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations, as well as provincial economic forecast data from the Ministry of Finance. A review of recent labour market forecast studies involving the BC forestry industry was conducted, as was an examination of post secondary education and training outcomes from programs in support of the BC forest industry. The results and findings from this study provide a comprehensive look at the current and forecasted needs of the BC forest industry and broader forest sector through 2022.
