North Island Community Forest Ltd Partnership Open House

February 4, 2012

1pm - 4pm at the Port Hardy District Office

The Directors and Shareholders of the North Island Community Forest will be hosting an Open House for all community members to come and learn what has been going on over the past year in your Community Forest!

Please come out and discuss the North Island Community Forest with us. We will have displays to view, information to review and food and beverages to snack on.

This is also a chance for all to review and comment on any proposed operations within the North Island Community Forest.

The Open House will take place at the Port Hardy District Council Chambers located at 7360 Columbia, Port Hardy, next to the Civic Centre from 1pm to 4pm on February 4th, 2012. If you are unable to attend this open house and wish to discuss the Community Forest with one of the Directors, please email info@nicf.ca to make an appointment.
