Summary
The long-term objective for the second year of this Project is to build on outcomes achieved with support from 2011-12 Aboriginal Forestry Initiative funding.

Program Purpose (French)
L'objectif à long terme de la deuxième année du projet est de s'appuyer sur les résultats obtenus avec le soutien financier de l'Initiative forestière autochtone 2011-2012. Le projet poursuivra sa lancée dans le but d'établir une stabilité économique et sociale pour être en mesure plus tard d'utiliser pleinement l'approvisionnement en bois de la forêt Armstrong. Les contributions financières au projet serviront à soutenir les futures étapes de préparation des travaux et d'exploitation. Chaque étape du projet entraînera des avantages qui mèneront à l'atteinte de l'objectif principal du projet qui est de créer des emplois utiles et durables à long terme et de faire passer la collectivité et ses environs d'une production d'énergie électrique au diesel très coûteuse à une cogénération à la biomasse plus durable et plus acceptable sur le plan de l'environnement.
