Biographical history

Appointed by Order-in-Council no. 35, January 7, 1955. Commissioner: Gordon McGregor Sloan. Reported, 1956. Chief Justice Sloan, Commissioner of the 1945 Forest Inquiry, was again appointed to review the forest resources of the Province. He found government inconsistencies in granting timber licences and recommended better control over licencing. New licences should be issued for twenty-one years instead of in perpetuity and an immediate moratorium on the issuing of licences should be declared. A permanent forest advisory council should be established and another forestry review should be conducted in ten years.

Custodial history

Transferred to Project 87 from the Ministry of Forests Library in 1982; received by PABC in 1982.
