The BC Forest Safety Ombudsperson role has transitioned into the role of BC Forest Safety Advocate.
At the end of 2023, Roger Harris, who held the role of BC Forest Safety Ombudsperson retired. The BC Forest Safety Ombudsperson had been part of the BC Forest Safety Council since 2005 and was mandated to investigate safety concerns and provide recommendations for improvement.
The new BC Forest Safety Advocate role will continue to provide a safe, confidential environment for the discussion of forest safety issues and concerns and will be managed through the BCFSC.
