WASAUKSING FIRST NATION

Program Purpose:

The aboriginal forestry initiative (AFI) is working with the Wasauksing First Nation to update the community's forest management plan. The First Nation is looking to capitalize on the economic opportunities available through the forest sector by creating sustainable jobs and a robust revenue stream, while ensuring that the forest is healthy and managed appropriately. The project will identify opportunities for potential business ventures and allow for increased forestry-related capacity within the First Nation, thereby providing up to 20 new and sustainable employment opportunities for community members.
