and Outreach
In 2025, the Canadian Wood Council continued advancing initiatives to expand market access and create new opportunities for Canadian wood products in the built environment. Amid ongoing economic pressures and challenging global market conditions affecting the sector, CWC’s work in market outreach, technical resource development, codes and standards, and education, helped support broader adoption of wood construction and strengthen the industry’s long-term competitiveness and resilience.
