Policy makers are putting offsite manufacturers out of the plant and onto the front page with promises of solving Canada’s housing crisis and, at the same time, supporting secure jobs, value-added forestry, lower-emissions construction, and construction productivity.

While entrepreneurial tenacity forms the foundation of Canada’s offsite manufacturing sector, public policy is shaping cornerstones for its success—from local permitting innovation to senior government code reform and alternative procurement.

Hear from established leaders across mass timber, modular and panelized on the big policy moves by all levels of government helping drive market transformation towards faster, more efficient, and lower-emissions construction. Come ready to engage in the Q&A.
