Approximately 24,000 men served as part of the Forestry Corps in various parts of Europe to work on processing timber for construction of barracks, roads, trenches, ammunition boxes, and other supplies.

A wildfire located on southeast of Edson, Alta. At last count, Emergency Preparedness Minister Bill Blair said nearly 440 fires have burned 3.9 million hectares of forest across nine provinces and two territories in recent weeks—more than 13 times the 10-year average for this time of year.

Defence Minister Anita Anand, pictured during a press conference in May, recently announced Canada will deploy up to 225 Canadian Armed Forces members this month to train Ukrainian recruits in the U.K. If we are bringing recruits from Ukraine to the U.K. for extensive training, it would seem that no one expects the fighting to end anytime soon, writes Scott Taylor.

Righting a racist wrong long overdue

OpinionBY SCOTT TAYLOR
If managed properly, forests can play an important part in our fight against climate change. How we harvest the trees, what we do with branches, small trunks, and other debris that are normally left unused or burned, and what products we produce from the harvested timber are all critical parts of that process, writes Richard Cannings.
