The Crees of Northern Québec and the forest industry mobilized around the event Working Together for a Sustainable Forestry; a unifying event that took place in May 2014, in Val-d’Or.  The main objective of this gathering was to create a favourable climate for discussing topics such as employment, granting of contracts in the forestry sector, and the development of partnerships and strategic alliances.

The Cree-Québec Forestry Board, the Secretariat to the Cree Nation A-T Economic Alliance, the Cree Regional Authority and many other organizations, organized an information and exchange day that brought together several forestry-related stakeholders involved in forestry-related jobs and contracts on the Eeyou Istchee-Bay-James territory.

Approximately, sixty guests attended and took this opportunity to network with the forest industry to share information and discuss job opportunities, contracts and partnerships in the forestry sector.
