Canada needs to build more homes faster and more affordably. That means building homes of all types and sizes, from apartments to multiplexes and townhomes to detached single-family homes and creating the conditions for Canadian companies and workers to help deliver them. Forest Products Association of Canada (FPAC) and Canadian Wood Council (CWC) have joined the Homes and Growth Coalition to deliver a plan to meet that need. The Coalition brings together partners from across Canada’s housing supply chain with the goal to turn evidence, industry expertise, and the views of Canadians into practical policy solutions to actually get homes built. Its work will focus on critical barriers including investment, taxes and fees, regulatory modernization, modern methods of construction, and better housing data. “There is an enormous opportunity to meet Canada’s housing needs with our own sustainable, Canadian-made building materials and manufacturing capacity,” said Derek Nighbor, President and CEO of FPAC and CWC.
