Program Purpose:

The purpose of this agreement is to support Mee-Toos Forest Products in northeast Saskatchewan in the development of the timber supply (approximately 750,000 cubic meters annually) made available through the Term Supply License tenure that was signed, and in creating employment and business development opportunities for the members of the Peter Ballantyne Cree Nation (PBCN), owners of Mee-Toos Forest Products. Prince Albert Model Forest is a non-profit partnership association and is serving as the Project Manager. The proponent is working with FPInnovations and Mee-Toos Forest Products. Mee-Toos Forest Products holds commercial timber rights in the traditional lands of the PBCN. Mee-Toos Forest Products will work with FPInnovations to better characterize the opportunity that the wood supply could create for investors, as well as develop and circulate a Request for Expressions of Interest to attract an industrial partner.
