Client-Focussed Organization
Forging Strategic Alliances and Partnerships
The GLFC 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 GLFC
uses a partnership approach to effectively coordinate and integrate
the environmental, social and economic values of Canadians to achieve
sustainable forest management.
The GLFC 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 GLFC will also work in collaboration with federal advisory
bodies, such as the NABFOR, to ensure that GLFC 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.
