5 Reasons To Be Excited for the 2024 Forest NS AGM
Our big AGM is at White Point Beach Resort next week, and we are almost fully booked. Fortunately, we still have a few tickets remaining. This year’s AGM will feature international speakers, industry VIPs, and many learning and networking opportunities.
Here are the five reasons to be excited.
1. Meet Government and Industry Officials from Finland
As special guests at this year’s AGM, Finland’s Ambassador to Canada and Finland’s International Trade Minister will be guests at this year’s AGM.
They are part of a trade mission bringing Finnish forestry experts and companies to our AGM.
2. Meet Provincial Decision-Makers
We have three provincial ministers joining us for this year’s AGM. This year, we will be joined by:
Hon. Tory Rushton, Minister of Natural Resources and Renewables
Hon. Susan Corkum-Greek, Minister of Economic Development
Hon. Kim Masland, Minister of Public Work
3. Learn How Forestry Fights Climate Change
Nova Scotia’s forestry sector removes more carbon from the environment than it emits. We can still do more in the fight against climate change. This year’s panels will show how forestry fights climate change while capitalizing on green growth opportunities.
Our panel topics include:
How to expand and grow the bio-economy in Nova Scotia.
The potential carbon credit market in Nova Scotia.
Lessons learned from the Heat New Glasgow district heating project
4. Our Annual Awards and Reception
On Tuesday, February 6, we have our annual rewards ceremony and reception.
The awards honour those in our sector who achieve top marks for safety and sustainability. The reception following the rewards ceremony will feature live music and entertainment.
5. Networking Opportunities Abound
This year’s AGM features many of the leading suppliers and executives in forestry. This group only assembles once a year, and this is your chance to meet these individuals, introduce yourself, and make connections that can last for years.
