Congratulations to Jessica Prior, who was highlighted in CFI's Top 10 under 40. Jessica works for AV Group NB, in Nackawic New Brunswick, as an assistant forester.

Forest Products Association of Canada (FPAC) now offers a series of educational videos on First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples – the three Indigenous groups recognized in the Canadian constitution. The videos present defining moments that have helped to shape the history of Indigenous Peoples, and the dominion of Canada. They also help demystify some of the legal issues surrounding the Canadian Constitution, the Indian Act, historical and modern treaties, recent rulings by the Supreme Court of Canada, and what they mean in practical terms.

Videos could be shared on social media or be added to your workplace training material.

Forest NB's newest blog is now available
