CPD Opportunity – Mass Timber Supportive Communities: Policy & Permitting Innovation

Local governments are on the frontlines in managing housing and construction pressures, climate impacts, and economic stress.

Mass timber is an offsite-manufactured, low-carbon building technology that can reduce construction-related community impacts and timelines while supporting value-added B.C. forestry, manufacturing, and construction sectors.

Innovations in building permitting and land use policy and zoning can help local governments unlock mass timber’s benefits for diverse communities from metropolitan areas to resource-based towns.

This 90 minute webinar will explore:

• Practical local government precedents
• Mass timber’s technical rationale
• BC Government policy leadership driving mass timber growth and emerging plans to expand broader factory-based construction.
