Canadian Forest Service
Client-Focussed Organization
Forging Strategic Alliances and Partnerships
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.
