Please Join Us!

The Canadian Model Forest Network would like to extend a warm invitation for you to attend its 2012 Annual General Meeting, in scenic

Western Newfoundland. We hope you will join us as we celebrate 20 Years of “Fostering Partnerships” within the Model Forest program.

The agenda will offer a seminar on non-profit business development hosted by Marty Donkervoort MBA, from the University of Winnipeg and Reconnaissance Management Consulting Group. It will also provide an

opportunity to connect & meet Model Forest representatives from across Canada and around the world.

Model Forest of Newfoundland & Labrador is pleased to collaborate with its provincial partners, The Department of Natural Resources,

College of the North Atlantic, Memorial University, Natural Resources Canada, Corner Brook Pulp & Paper Ltd., Parks Canada, Canadian Insti-tute of Forestry and the City of Corner Brook, as they host the event in

conjunction with National Forest Week.

As the Globe and Mail has recently noted, Marty’s business career leads from Bay Street to Main Street. Over the past three decades, Marty has held senior positions in private corporations, the public sector and in the social economy, most recently in Winnipeg’s inner-city North End. In the social economy, Marty founded Away Express, a social enterprise courier service in Toronto, mentored The Big Carrot worker co-op in the retail health food business, then founded and managed Inner City Renovation, a social enterprise in the construction sector in Winnipeg’s North End. He has started and managed a successful consulting practice, taught a business course at Ryerson University and published on social enterprise and worker cooperatives. Marty is a leader in community economic development, being a past or current director of the Canadian Worker Co-op Federation, the Worker Owner Development Foundation, and the Social Enterprise Council of Canada among many others. Marty’s contributions have been celebrated by the CBC, who named him “A Canadian making a Difference” in 2009 and by a special recognition award in 2010 from Ernst and Young in their Entrepreneur of the Year Competition. Marty Donkervoort holds an MBA and BScF in timber engineering
