Pointers for a letter to MLA
Letters matter. Politicians consider each letter to represent many other who would not write. A united voice also helps get the message across. Of course we each have our own piece to say, and saying it in our own way also makes an impact.

Remember...
  • If writing your MLA make sure to ask a specific question and ask for a reply - they are supposed to write you back
  • Consider carbon copying the letter to other representatives

I support, demand, insist on...

  • A real democratic debate on the future of crown lands before making radical changes, NOT a review of the industry agenda
  • the government has no mandate to radically change legislation on Crown lands
  • Low impact forestry, which yields more long term jobs and higher potential for value added
  • Initiatives for community forestry - give the little guy a chance!

I oppose...

  • An industry controlled economy
  • Conversion of 40% of crown lands into monoculture pulp plantations
  • Binding targets for wood supply, especially doubled targets, that make tax payers financially liable to corporations
