Scholarships & Training

Increasing Indigenous representation in our workforce is a key business objective. Beyond hiring practices that encourage Indigenous applicants, we believe we have a role to play in supporting education and forestry skills development for Indigenous students and workers.

Detailed information on scholarships and training opportunities, including criteria and contact information for applicants, is available here.
