"David has more than 30 years of diverse industry experience,
and he has deep familiarity with our Canadian operations from a

into this important leadership role and help us continue to build
on our strong relationships with our communities, customers and
other partners across Canada."
"I also want to thank Fred for his more than 40 years of
outstanding service with Weyerhaeuser," Keatley added. "He has had
a profound impact across our Canadian operations as a champion of
people, innovation and operational excellence, and he has dedicated
significant energy to promoting and advancing our industry through
his participation on many boards and associations across
Canada. Although he will be
greatly missed on our team, we wish him all the best in his
well-deserved retirement."
