The Millar Western BBQ is just a small glimpse of how the forestry sector branches into the community.

It was unusually hot in Nova Scotia for late April when I was packing for a flight to Alberta. Recently finishing my first year of Forestry school, I was eager to go experience work in a different province.

From researching companies across the country to accepting the offer, this is how I landed my co-op placement with Canfor Pulp, and why it was a good decision.

By taking a closer look at the ingredients lists on the labels of the products we consume, it can be seen that kraft pulp plays a large role in the everyday lives of Canadians.

Une bonne activité pour la communication et passer du bon temps après une semaine chargée!

For my first shared content as a Green Dream intern, I would like to introduce myself and briefly explain the kraft pulping process that takes place just outside my office.

One of the best parts of being a Canfor co-op in Vancouver? Easy access to countless nearby hikes!

My name is Aidan, and I was born and raised in the Denver Metro Area of Colorado, USA. Although I lived in suburbia, I could see the Rocky Mountains from my bedroom window and got to spend a lot of time out in nature.

An important part of working in a corporate office is networking within the company. Resolute Forest Products promotes this practice and encourages us, interns, to interact with multiple departments.

In my series of interviews, I decided to meet the director of Logistics, Maria Komourdjian. Maria has taken a step up within the Logistics department, while the vice president, Karen Roach, has taken a temporary relocation assignment to be the general manager of one of our mills!

An important part of the forestry industry is logistics. Without the logistics department, mills would not be able to create new products, as the old ones would still be taking up space on the floor.
