September 14, 2018 – The B.C. Ministry of Forests, Lands, Natural Resource Operations & Rural Development quietly replaced its deputy minister this week.

 
Effective immediately, Tim Sheldan is no longer with the agency and has been replaced by John Allan, formerly a deputy minister and past head of the Council of Forest Industries and B.C. Lumber Trade Council.

Sheldan worked in government for 30 years in B.C., Alberta and Ontario.
