Today in Ottawa, forest industry representatives unveiled The Mass Timber Roadmap, a strategic plan to boost Canada’s mass timber market to $1.2 billion by 2030 and $2.4 billion by 2035.
Developed by the Transition Accelerator with the Forest Products Association of Canada (FPAC), Canadian Wood Council (CWC), and Energy Futures Lab (EFL), the roadmap envisions mass timber as key to green construction and economic growth. It highlights public-private collaboration, standardization, and skills development as critical actions. The Transition Accelerator supports Canada’s transition to a net-zero future by enabling innovative pathways to address societal challenges.
Speakers, including Transition Accelerator’s Derek Eaton and Kate Lindsay of FPAC, emphasized mass timber’s potential to reduce costs, speed up construction, and lower carbon footprints. They called for swift action to capitalize on rising global demand and stay competitive.
