COFI 2019 — Afterthoughts
Tuesday, April 9th, 2019
We spent three days last week at the 2019 COFI Convention where more than 600 delegates, speakers, exhibitors, and sponsors gathered in Vancouver to discuss all things forestry.
From the ice-breaker reception on Wednesday evening to the opening greeting from Deborah Baker of the Squamish Nation on Thursday, to the keynote address by British Columbia Premier John Horgan on Friday, we were engaged with networking, listening and talking about all aspects of the forest industry in BC and Canada.
The program featured professionals from across the industry, including federal and provincial deputies, indigenous leaders and CEOs of various forestry companies, speaking on subjects ranging from globalization to innovations in local markets.
The panel discussions shared ideas about relationship-building with First Nations, strategies for attracting youth to the industry and expanding our trade markets into Asia. Other important topics included Canada-US relations, softwood lumber, the economic outlook for BC and the future of British Columbia’s forest trade.
Premier John Horgan closed the conference with a discussion about effective ways the provincial government plans to work with the forestry sector and called upon all stakeholders including labour, First Nations and local communities to collaborate in developing a new vision for BC’s forest industry.
As our sales team said “This year’s COFI Convention did not disappoint. There was ample time to network with colleagues that we hadn’t seen in a while. The panels were interesting and informative with thought-provoking conversations from professionals about the uncertainties and opportunities ahead in our industry.”
Thanks to BC Council of Forest Industries (COFI) for presenting another outstanding annual conference.
See you in 2020!

Giving Back

This year, our head office partnered with Murray Latta Progressive to hold a food drive for the Surrey Food Bank. For five weeks, we brought in non-perishable food items to fill the food bank boxes that we displayed in our front reception area.
Our creativity and sense of fun was evident in the kinds of items we brought to fit with a weekly theme. We started with things such as pancake mixes with syrup, and oatmeal along with canned fruit for our Breakfast Week and we ended with Dinner Week that included items for meals such as spaghetti dinners, macaroni and cheese, Chinese food fixings, cans of hearty stew and more. We finished up the drive with a Baby Week where we contributed baby/toddler items from diapers to formula.
Volunteers from the Surrey Food Bank arrived on Wednesday morning to pick up our contribution and we were surprised when an old friend and co-worker walked through the door to load up our boxes. Bill, who worked for Brunette for many years, now retired, burst into the office with a big grin and a boisterous voice — proclaiming his excitement at seeing his Brunette family again. What a thrill — a happy mini-reunion with a favoured workmate!
This was our first time holding an organized charity event in the office and we feel it was a great success! We hope to continue to hold such charitable efforts in the future. Not only did we help hungry people by filling sixteen boxes with nutritious food, but in doing so, we discovered a bonding, uplifting experience that showed a generosity of spirit that we all can be proud of.
Together we accomplished a lot and made a difference to vulnerable members of our community.

We’re in the news again! Read these two short pieces in the November/December issue of CFI magazine featuring Brunette Machinery.
In October 2018, we exhibited at the the 2018 TP&EE show in Portland, Oregon where we brought along two BIG machines — one of our Brunette Drum Chippers and the new CBI Magnum Force grinder. Check out the write-up in the magazine’s spotlight on 15 booths at the show that showcased the latest top-of-the-line equipment for the forestry industry.
There is also a short item about our Flare Butt Reducer in the same issue — read it here.
And if you missed the feature story on Carrier Lumber in the hardcopy of CFI magazine, you can read it in Wood Business, the online reach of Canadian Forest Industries magazine. It is a great article on Carrier Lumber’s Tabor sawmill and it mentions their most recent project — building the Brunette RTL (retract-to-load) Log Singulator.
