Rob Moore Pleased with Funding for Fundy Model Forest Inc.
July 9, 2007 – Rob Moore, M.P. Fundy Royal, is pleased that Fundy Model Forest Inc. will be receiving funding under the new Forest Communities Program (FCP).
The Government of Canada has established the new Forest Communities Program to assist in developing the tools, approaches and strategies needed to help local economies as the forest sector evolves. The $25-million Forest Communities Program will help to fund 11 program sites.
"Fundy Model Forest Inc. was one of the original participants in Canada's Model Forest Program and I am pleased that they have been recognized for their continued innovation," said Rob Moore. "As one of the 11 sites chosen across Canada they will advance the sustainable development and protection of our New Brunswick forests."
The FCP is based on the successes of Canada's Model Forest Program, which began in 1992 and ends this year. It will nurture new approaches and the solutions will be shared with other forest communities across Canada and internationally through the Canadian Model Forest Network, the International Model Forest Network, and like-minded organizations.
