Community Economic Development in the Resource Sector 1. Recognize the commodity cycle in the Global Economy 2. Recognize the life cycle of the resource; (20 year mine is a camp but 200 years of forest is sustainable development) 3. Attract employees (not just workers) and build for families. 4. Innovation isn't just products but markets and processes. 5. Celebrate your credentials but continuously improve. Globally competitive means global competition Forest Products Association of Canada | Association des produits forestiers du Canada | 26
