newsprint. Almost half of its vast land area is covered by forests, of which 65% are classed as productive. Canada's forests sustain the economies of hundreds of communities across the country. In 2000, the forest sector employed about 840,000 Canadians, which translates into 1 job in 17 in Canada.
