The CFS has built a solid reputation for its scientific excellence
and its ability to forge strategic alliances and partnerships with
a wide spectrum of forest stakeholders and partners. Its client
groups and partners include provincial governments; other federal
departments; forest industries; Aboriginal communities; academia;
labour groups; private woodlot owners; and environmental, conservation
and special interest groups. As a national facilitator, the CFS
uses a partnership approach to effectively coordinate and integrate
the environmental, social and economic values of Canadians to achieve
sustainable forest management.
The CFS will continue to forge strategic alliances and partnerships.
For example, it will make special collaborative arrangements with
the Canadian Council of Forest Ministers (CCFM) to meet the objectives
identified in Canada's Framework for FederalProvincial/Territorial
Cooperation in Forestry (1995), and it will work with the National
Forest Strategy Coalition (NFSC) to develop and implement a renewed
Strategy.
The CFS will also work in collaboration with federal advisory bodies,
such as the NABFOR, to ensure that CFS research programs remain
focused on strategic national forest research needs, and it will
work with FSAC to ensure that federal forest policy development
initiatives address forest industry concerns and issues.
