Having recently taken on a leading role with provincial non-profit Forests Ontario, Haliburton’s Malcolm Cockwell is committed to protecting what he believes is Canada’s greatest natural resource.
The long-time managing director of the Haliburton Forest and Wild Life Reserve has been a leading voice, locally, for many years on issues related to forest management. Now he plans to expand his reach, and provide that same level of engagement and support provincewide after recently taking on the role of president with Forests Ontario.
“This is an exciting opportunity for me to step up, do my part and assist with the stewardship of all of Ontario’s forests,” Cockwell said. “I’ve been on the board of directors with the organization for the last six years. I’m probably one of the longest serving board members, so the timing felt right to step up. I know the industry, and I know the challenges we’re facing.”

Tegan Legge, the general manager of the Haliburton Forest confirmed the latest cancellation of another public event related to the sweeping influence of COVID-19 when she announced the cancellation of the annual snowmobile touring event fundraiser for the Haliburton Firefighters Association scheduled for Saturday, Feb. 6.
