On behalf of Forest NB, we extend our sincerest gratitude to all who attended and supported the 2024 Forest NB Industry Forum, held at the Crowne Plaza Fredericton - Lord Beaverbrook Hotel. Your presence, active participation, and support made this year's event truly exceptional. The theme of this year's forum, "Community Resilience through Canadian Forestry," resonated deeply with all of us as we explored ways to strengthen and sustain our communities through the forestry sector and your engagement in the presentations highlighted the importance of collaboration in achieving this shared vision.

We extend a special thank you to our esteemed speakers, whose expertise and insights enriched our understanding of the challenges and opportunities facing the forest industry. Your thought-provoking presentations inspired us all to strive for excellence and resilience in our work. We are also grateful to the dignitaries whose advocacy for the forest industry underscores its significance to our region's economy, environment, and communities.

Last but not least, we express our deepest appreciation to our sponsors. Your generous contributions and unwavering commitment have been instrumental in making this event possible. Your support is fundamental to the continued growth and success of Forest NB, and we are profoundly grateful for your partnership.

The business forum and networking event featured both Indigenous and non-Indigenous businesses, entrepreneurs, and organizations.
