BC Wood’s latest update highlights a busy season of market development, industry change, and future opportunity. The 23rd Annual Global Buyers Mission returns to Whistler this September, promising enhanced programming and valuable connections between international buyers and BC manufacturers. At the same time, the Province is moving to strengthen fibre access through legislative changes aimed at supporting jobs, improving timber flow, and deepening partnerships with First Nations. Internally, BC Wood is entering a new chapter with the search for a CEO to succeed long-time leader Brian Hawrysh, positioning the association to guide members through evolving markets. On the ground, member innovation is on display with companies like CureWood, while BC Wood continues to promote the sector globally—participating in major events across Europe, China, and North America to expand opportunities for value-added wood products.
