Comox Partners Inc. ("Fiera Comox"), an affiliate of Fiera Capital
Corporation (TSX: FSZ), is pleased to announce its acquisition of

members of the team having run one of North America's largest private timberland
companies managing over 1.5 million acres, driving significant
improvements in safety, sustainability and financial
performance.
Antoine Bisson-McLernon,
Partner and CEO, Fiera Comox, commented: "We are very
excited to grow our Natural Capital portfolio with a leading
timberland estate in the US Pacific Northwest, coming on the heels
of our previously announced joint venture transaction in
New Zealand. Taken together, these
assets provide geographic diversification and direct exposure to
the US and Pacific Rim end-product
markets."
Jeff Zweig, Partner, Vice
Chair, Head of Natural Capital, Fiera Comox, commented: "We are
thrilled to complete the acquisition of this strategically located
timberland asset. We look forward to driving improved operating and
