Welcome to The CFI Podcast!

Canadian Forest Industries is proud to announce the launch of a monthly podcast series, The CFI Podcast! Every month, associate editor Ellen Cools will speak with forestry stakeholders and professionals about trends such as the importance of working with and engaging First Nations, gender diversity hiring practices, new value-added applications, emerging markets, and more!

Each episode will be available for free on CFI's website, and on Annex Business Media's SoundCloud and iTunes accounts.

First episode out now!

Our first ever episode, sponsored by EACOM Timber Corporation, is available now! We sat down with JP Gladu, president and CEO of the Canadian Council for Aboriginal Business, to discuss the current state of First Nations' involvement in forestry, the importance of working with and engaging First Nations, best practices to follow, and more.

"I think the real opportunity in our forestry sector is to create certainty by making sure that Indigenous communities have access to capital to be equitable participants," he says.
