Company Description
The Meadow Lake Tribal Council supports nine Meadow Lake First Nations representing some 8,000 people. The Tribal Council initiated the forest management strategy with the hope of facilitating wise use of traditional lands and self-management of Indian lands, for the sustained benefit of First Nations.
The management strategy involves five distinct steps: development of alternate land use strategies; development and maintenance of forest resource inventories; establishment of forest resource goals and objectives; forest resource values survey; selection and development of a preferred plan; examples of sound forestry activities are evident in the operations of its two companies - Meadow Lake Tribal Council (MLTC) Logging - Reforestation Inc. and NorSask Forest Products Ltd.
MLTC Logging - Reforestation Inc.: MLTC Logging - Reforestation has grown not only to be one of the largest logging contractors in the Province of Saskatchewan, but one of the most successful, complete forest management companies of its kind. By replanting three trees for every tree harvested, and by treating
forests as homes to more than just trees, the company has been able to grow, while at the same time ensuring against resource depletion.
NorSask Forest Products Ltd.: Through the acquisition of NorSask Forest Products Ltd., the Meadow Lake Tribal Council secured ownership of a Forest Management License Agreement (FMLA) from the Saskatchewan Government (entailing an area of 3.3 million ha. of forest resources). NorSask Forest
Products Ltd. has optimized their sawmill operations to achieve one of the highest wood fibre recovery rates of any sawmill in Canada.
An important goal of the Meadow Lake Tribal Council's forestry management services, is to seek a balance between the extraction and depletion of resources, as espoused in traditional environmental principles and practices. Clients include Government and other First Nations.
