In an effort to provide additional opportunities for meaningful participation early in the operational planning process, Spray Lake Sawmills is offering a collaborative stakeholder planning session. Spray Lake Sawmills values stakeholder input and wants to provide opportunities for collaboration to improve operational plans.

The McLean Creek Planning Session will be held on April 26, 2017 at the Spray Lake Sawmills office in Cochrane, starting at 9:00 AM until approximately 12:00 PM. Please see the attached compartment map for location details.

The following topics will be addressed:
