A Stand Up BC Forestry Rally planned for today has been postponed due to the flooding throughout the province.

B次元官网网址淚t is with a heavy heart we have had to postpone the rally in Victoria due to the recent catastrophic flooding throughout the province,B次元官网网址� said Carl Sweet of the BC Forestry Alliance in a letter. B次元官网网址淒espite the massive anger we have heard surrounding the B.C. government old growth deferrals announcement, forestry workers will continue to put the needs of their communities first and foremost as they always do.B次元官网网址�

The rally was scheduled in response to old growth deferrals, which the alliance say give forestry communities B次元官网网址渁n overwhelming sense of frustration.B次元官网网址�

B次元官网网址淥ur expectation is that the Premier and his ministersB次元官网网址� halt this old growth deferral process, and do what is right and take a step back for a more balanced, science-based approach to forestry and not bow to the influence and misinformation of special interest groups,B次元官网网址� Sweet said.

B次元官网网址淲e recognize the over whelming and tough situations many British Columbians are currently facing across this great province,B次元官网网址� he said. B次元官网网址淥ur thoughts are with the families and communities struggling during this time. Our deepest gratitude goes out to the hard-working emergency personal, and crews dispatched to repair damaged infrastructure, may their work be completed safely and without incident.B次元官网网址�

The rally will be rescheduled in the future, the letter says.
