Both formal and informal approaches have been developed over the years by the Company to reflect community values, as well as address specific sites and concerns of both individuals and groups. A Public Advisory Committee has been established to serve as an ongoing forum where representatives from across FMLA can share knowledge, interests, views, values and concerns with respect to forest management activities. This forum is intended to allow for open, fair and orderly discussion on these matters. The ongoing committee includes representatives from a broad cross-section of stakeholders across the FMLA and is currently known as the Sustainable Forest Management Committee. Currently the committee meets several times per year. Membership is open to Indigenous Peoples, communities, general public and organizations. Meeting minutes are available upon request.

The document ‘Manitoba’s Submission Guidelines for Forest Management Operating Plans’ (Manitoba Sustainable Development, 2015) guides the development of the FMOP. The FMOP provides a 3-year projection of forest management activities within the Forest Management License Area (FMLA). The plan contains detail with respect to wood supply, access development, harvesting and forest renewal activities planned for the upcoming two years. Contingency areas are identified to ensure adequate areas are available for harvest should the planned progression of harvest be interrupted due to weather conditions or other unforeseen circumstances. Following the approval of the FMOP, and prior to any work commencing within the FMLA, work permit applications are submitted to Manitoba Sustainable Development for each planned operation. The work permit application outlines the site specific details of the planned activity.
