The planning is well underway and the 2018 CUFC will be unique in that it will be the first joint congress with the Pacific Northwest Chapter of the International Society of Arboriculture and the Urban Tree Diversity Conference. This congress promises to bring
together a full range of Urban Forestry professionals and practitioners in a way that has not happened before in Canada. Watch for updates on this exciting conference later this year.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

Region Steering Committee and the development of a 2017 Action Plan. One of the key items in the Action Plan is the establishment of a part time Regional Assistant to assist the Steering Committee. It is exciting to say that the part time Regional Assistant
role has been established and we are lucky to have Laura Cottle stepping into this role. Laura is a Registered Professional Forester with a strong background in program coordination and education. The Pacific Region Steering Committee is looking forward to
further increasing the existing momentum with Laura now in place.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

in 2016, more than 90 students enrolled, and 94 students registered in the Urban Forestry 100 course this year. 2018 will see the first Urban Forestry graduates and the next step is the development of a one year professional Master of Urban Forestry. This
development is underway and an extensive market survey has shown great interest both in Canada and internationally. The focus of the program will be topics such as environmental leadership and governance, project management, entrepreneurship, urban forest
benefit assessment and strategic urban forest management. The tentative launch date for the Master of Urban Forestry program is September 2019, pending Ministerial approval.</span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;color:#425010"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<i>Urban Forestry 100 </i>cette année. On verra des diplômés en foresterie urbaine sortir de l'UBC pour la première fois en 2018. La prochaine étape est de créer un programme d'un an de maîtrise en foresterie urbaine. Ce programme est en cours d'élaboration
et des recherches approfondies du marché ont révélé un vif intérêt à ce sujet au Canada et à l'échelle internationale. Le programme portera entre autres sur la gouvernance et le leadership environnemental, la gestion des projets, l'entrepreneuriat, l'évaluation
des bienfaits de la forêt urbaine et la gestion stratégique de la forêt urbaine. La date provisoire de lancement du nouveau programme de maîtrise en foresterie urbaine est septembre 2019, sous réserve de l'approbation ministérielle.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
