Canada Wood is a joint initiative between the Canadian government and timber industry association partners representing producers in Canada, serving as a link to approximately 10% of the world’s forest area and to Canada’s wealth of timber and wood products.

Canada Wood in the UK provides industry, trade, specifiers, designers and the public with the support that is available through our information resources and marketing initiatives. We are always glad to advise enquirers about technical issues, souces of supply, product availability, grading, environmental matters and related topics, and offer a series of RIBA accredited CPD presentations that can be tailored to individual needs.

The range of wood products from Canada is extensive, including unique softwood species, temperate hardwoods, each in the form of sawn timber, and almost everything from structural softwood grades right through to complete timber frame house packages! We have something for everyone, for today and tomorrow – and the Canada Wood programme is all about letting you know!

Canada is committed to sustainable forest management, evidenced by more than 149 million hectares of forest independently certified to CSA, FSC and SFI standards, telling you that Canada Wood is here to stay.
