MLA for Nechako Lakes John Rustad has been appointed as minister of forests, lands and natural resource operations in addition to his cabinet duties as minister of aboriginal relations and reconciliation.
Rustad was re-elected to represent Nechako Lakes in 2017 and has served as minister of aboriginal relations and reconciliation since June 2013. The appointment as forests minister took place last week after former minister Steve Thomson resigned to take on a new role.
