MONTREAL – …the forest sector is facing real pressures, including the impact of unjust U.S. trade measures. The Government of Canada is responding with a strategy: protect what we have and transform the sector so it can grow stronger, more resilient and more competitive. Today at Les Conférences Cecobois et le Forum construction bas carbone et biosourcée 2026, Claude Guay, Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Energy and Natural Resources, announced that Cecobois is receiving, from the Green Construction through Wood (GCWood) program, $580,000 in federal funding administered by the Conseil de l’industrie forestière du Québec. With this funding, Cecobois will implement new projects aimed at documenting and raising awareness of the benefits of using wood to decarbonize the construction sector, deepening technical knowledge and disseminating expertise. These strategic actions will help increase the use of wood and bio-based insulation materials, as well as promote carbon neutrality in non-residential and multi-residential buildings.
