The Fort Fights Back

After a disappointing start where no out of town reporters, politicians, and not too many protestors gathered here at Cottonwood Park, the voice of the community got to roar in Vanderhoof. The Roundtable on Forestry got to encounter it's first rally and paid for its snubbing of Fort St. James.

“We want to be part of the solution “ says rally organizer Winson Cheung a former employee of Pope and Talbot “We don’t think the meetings should be held behind closed doors.”
This session was supposed to have been held in Fort St. James, another of the B.C. communities hit hard by the downturn in the forest industry.
