As the demand for mass timber beams, panels, and buildings is strong and continues to grow, we need to adopt a strategic approach to our national resource that can boost our economy, build more homes and reduce our environmental impact.
And to compete globally, we need to create an efficient, integrated forest-to-buildings value chain. And time is the most important factor. Canada needs net-zero building solutions and green jobs that a rapidly growing mass timber industry will bring to forestry communities.
The roadmap proposes an ambitious vision and calls on industry, business, stakeholders, and government to come together to advance and implement this vision. |
