December 1, 2023

FSC Canada has two new team members – Jeff Welch, market development manager, and Satnam Manhas, senior manager of Indigenous capacity support Canada.

Jeff Welch joined FSC Canada on Nov 1. He has lived and worked in the Vancouver area throughout his career and brings with him a diverse and extensive sales and management background from his work in a variety of industries. With forest products being a main theme throughout his career, he is looking forward to the opportunity to work with the various industries, businesses and stakeholders to help FSC Canada continue in its quest to build mutually beneficial partnerships to further the responsible and sustainable utilization of our forest resources in Canada.

Welch will be assuming the role previously held by Andrew Tremblay, who will be retiring at the end of the year.

Raised in the Tsimshian territories along the lower Skeena River in British Columbia, Satnam Manhas brings over 30 years of experience as a registered professional forester (RPF) in B.C., with a focus on culturally appropriate economic development and stewardship for Indigenous communities nationwide.
