History
The Forest Industry Division has its origins in the Industry Relations Branch and the Forest Sector Competitiveness Secretariat, which both existed as part of the Forests Division of the Ministry of Natural Resources. The Forest Industry Division was first established in 2009 as part of the Ministry of Northern Development, Mines and Forests, which took on responsibility at that time for aspects of forestry relating to the forest industry. The new division was comprised of the Industry Relations Branch and Forest Sector Competitiveness Secretariat mentioned above.
This association was short-lived, as responsibility for the forest industry returned to the Ministry of Natural Resources ca. 2012. The division was transferred at that time and renamed the Forestry Division. By 2014, the name of the division had again reverted to the name Forest Industry Division.
The original Forest Sector Competitiveness Secretariat and Industrial Relations Branch were re-organized around 2013 and their responsibilities were re-distributed amongst the new Business Development Branch, Forest Tenure Economics Branch, and Operations Branch.
