Canada’s Mass Timber Roadmap Unveiled at Parliament Hill

On Thursday, The Transition Accelerator unveiled The Mass Timber Roadmap on Parliament Hill in Ottawa. The comprehensive report outlines an ambitious and strategic vision for the future of mass timber in Canada and its potential to transform green construction and drive economic growth across the country.

Developed in partnership with Forest Products Association of Canada (FPAC), Canadian Wood Council (CWC), and Energy Futures Lab (EFL), The Mass Timber Roadmap comes after more than a decade of collaborative efforts to unlock and demonstrate potential of mass timber and lays out a visionary plan to increase the mass timber market—both domestic and exports—to $1.2 billion (CAD) by 2030 and to $2.4 billion by 2035.

According to the announcement, this ambitious growth aligns with increasing market demand in North America and around the world. By leveraging the power of mass timber solutions, Canada has a unique opportunity to accelerate the construction of residential and commercial structures at greater speeds, with lower costs, and with a lighter carbon footprint—all while capturing a share of a rapidly growing global market.
