The national average is cur- 'ently at 85 per cent. Quebec aas the highest rate at 92 per >ent, with Ontario and Prince Edward Island at the low end, with 83 per cent and 78 per cent respectively. In 1991, motor vehicle colli- sions claimed the lives of an estimated 3,869 Canadians, and resulted in injuries to more than 260,000 others. For each one per cent rise in the national seat belt usage rate, Transport Canada estimates that 300 lives will be saved and 9,000 injuries will be prevented over a 20 year period.

National Forest Week National Forest Week is of interest to all Canadians . because forests are so impor- tant to their country and them- selves. It is a once a year event and helps remind us that day in, day out, and throughout the years, forests are an essential part of the Canadian landscape and lifestyle.

Reeve and Council ' April 23, 1992 during which attention is focused on our woodlands. Its main purpose is to help increase awareness of the importance of Canada's forests and their careful management for present and future needs. It is a "do it yourself' event during which individuals, groups and those involved in various phases of resource management are encouraged to do something special to emphasize their interests in forestry. Forest resources feed, clothe, shelter and entertain us. They are great to visit. They provide habitat for wildlife and help control water runoff and soil erosion. Their shade and beauty of the "cool, green kind" are trea- sured. Their contributions to air cleaning and sound reduc- tion are welcomed. And then there is their wood. More than half of the wood used in the world is bumed for cooking and warmth. We have learned to use wood for a host of products from paper to board to chemicals. As our numbers multiplied, we increased our demands upon the forest base and either ignored its future or just hoped it would last forever. A few called for management, to assure forest and wood supply for the future. Many advances in forest management were made but committment to sound forestry practices by the landowners, operators and society at large has been sadly lacking. Increased mobility and leisure time has given the pub- lic greater opportunity to visit the forest. Society wants other things as well as wood produc- tion. Parks and wilderness for example. It takes a long time to grow a forest. Protecting them from fire, insects and disease is not easy. Balancing the cut with growth, utilizing material before it is lost to fire, insects and disease, building roads, securing manpower and find- ing the financial capital are part of the complexity of the -- forest enterprise. Fitting all these in with tourism, recreation, and wildlife protection complicates the picture further. It takes large areas to meet the needs of today and tomor- row. Somehow there has to be a balance. Our numbers and needs are increasing. Our forests are lim- ited. What can we do to accept the challenges and assure green, productive forests for tomorrow? It's worth taking a closer look.
