Big changes are taking root in B.C.’s forest sector
The Government of Canada is investing more than $20 million to fund 67 projects that support the growth and resilience of British Columbia’s forest sector.
From feasibility studies for Indigenous-led forest product businesses to the development of next-generation building technologies, these projects are advancing wood innovation, supporting workforce development, and expanding the role of wood in low-carbon construction.
Administered through Natural Resources Canada (NRC), this Green Construction through Wood (GCWood) funding supports many initiatives, from fire-testing mass timber connections and refining modelling guides for timber structures to developing bioenergy solutions and value-added wood processing in Indigenous communities.
