Checking the facts
Operating Plans
Operating Plans that cover the next 5-years of forestry activity are prepared annually. The locations of proposed roads, harvest blocks, and renewal work for Year 1 of the plan are shown in detail on maps, and the direction for Years 2-5 is shown more generally.
Engagement with other land users and interested public during the development of these plans is a continuous process, aimed at developing mutually acceptable plans and activities. Communication and information sharing mechanisms are continually being modified and adjusted to meet people’s needs, expectations and legal requirements. The goal is to reach interested people and communities in whatever manner is most effective.
The Operating Plans (including harvest locations) are aligned with the strategic direction set in the longer-term Forest Management Plan for the Prince Albert Term Supply Area, which brings into play strategies such as protecting habitat for wildlife species at risk.
Shareholders collaborate on preparing local-level operating plans under the direction of Planning Area Facilitators, who are responsible for turning those plans into a fully integrated operating plans for their planning area, then submitting it to Sakâw’s General Manager for consolidation and submission to government.
Current Operating Plan documents and maps are provided below:
