Legislative Breakfast Cancelled
The PLC’s Executive Committee has decided to cancel the 2024 legislative breakfast, originally scheduled for March 7, 2024. The PLC’s legislative agenda is very light this year and with the warm winter and late start for harvesting conditions, they thought it would be best to skip the breakfast this year.
Do you know a person or business involved in the logging industry who ought to be recognized for service to the community, outstanding professionalism or service to the industry? If you do, please NOMINATE THEM for one of the PLC’s annual awards.
