CANADIAN FORESTRY CONVENTION. 



Vancouver, B.C., 26th and 27th September, 1906. 



The Canadian Forestry Convention held in Myers' Hall, 

 Vancouver, on the 26th and 27th of September, was successful, 

 both in the large number in attendance and in the enthusiasm 

 and interest which it awakened. No province of greater forest 

 weaHh or more magnificent possibilities than British Columbia, 

 no pleasanter or more beautiful place than the City of Vancouver 

 could have been chosen for the holding of the Convention, and 

 no welcome could have been warmer than that given to the 

 delegates by the city and the Lumbermen's Association. 



The arrangements made by the local committee were 

 thorough, so that the work of the Convention was carried on 

 smoothly. 



The Convention owed much to the kindly interest and support 

 of His Excellency the Governor-General and Lady Grey, and 

 the co-operation of the Provincial authorities was also heartily 

 given. 



At the opening of the Convention, Mr. John Hendry, Pres- 

 ident of the British Columbia Lumber and Shingle Manufactur- 

 er's Association, welcomed the delegates, and then called Mr. 

 E. Stewart, President of the Canadian Forestry Association, to 

 the chair, who responded in a few words to the kindly welcome. 

 The President then called upon His Excellency the Governor- 

 General to open the Convention. He was received with cheers 

 and said: 



"It is, I consider, a very high privilege, to be allowed to 

 opea this forestry convention," he said after his introduction.
