About The Section

Saskatchewan Section

The Saskatchewan section became a section on February 2, 1953 with Mr. N. Palley becoming the first Chair of the section. Prior to this time, Saskatchewan was a sub-section of the Prairie Provinces section. The Saskatchewan CIF- IFC section is a smaller section (50 – 60 members) – where the “Prairies meet the trees” in Saskatchewan.

Our Objectives

  1. We bring continuing education opportunities to Saskatchewan section members
  2. We provide a professional esprit-de-corps
  3. We partner with concordant organizations like the Saskatchewan Forestry Association, the Prince Albert Model Forest, and the Association of Saskatchewan Forestry Professionals which we helped found.

What We Do

The Saskatchewan CIF-IFC section is involved in the CIF Ring Ceremony, producing and maintaining scholarships, providing learning and social events (bowling, golf tournaments, beer and chili night). The Saskatchewan CIF-IFC section enables its member to obtain continuing education credits through various course offerings.
