Governance
The Maritime College of Forest Technology, formerly the Maritime Forest Ranger School, was established in 1946 as a cooperative effort between the provinces of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, and the wood-using industries of both provinces. Oversight and direction for the institution is provided by a 12-member Board of Governors. Day-to-day operations of the College, and its campuses, are directed by the institutions’s Chief Executive Officer.
