We’re proud to announce the recipient of the 2023 Mike McInnes Memorial Bursary, Kellen Vos! Presented at the Carihi Awards ceremony last week. Kellen is registered in the Coastal Forestry Program at North Island College starting in the Fall. He was a very worthy recipient, and we’re excited for Kellen to start his career in the forest industry.
This annual award commemorates Mike McInnes, who was fatally injured in an accident at a marshalling point near Woss, BC in November of 2011. Mike worked for HDL as part of the road crew. In honour of Mike, this Memorial Forestry Award will support young individuals with aspirations of a career in the forest and logging industry.
