Mass Timber and Lumber CAN/AUS Knowledge Exchange

Mass Timber and Lumber CAN/AUS Knowledge Exchange

Last week, BDO Canada Forest Products Advisory team was pleased to welcome to British Columbia, our friends from Timberlink Australia & New Zealand and NeXTimber (by Timberlink) . The objective of the trip was to share knowledge with a view to improving practices in both Canada and Australia - and sharing we did!

  • Thanks to Chris Kalesnikoff and the team at Kalesnikoff for the fantastic tour of your GLT/CLT manufacturing facility and sawmill.
  • Thanks to Dave Herzig and the team at Sinclar Group Forest Products Ltd. for the amazing tour of Nechako Lumber and Lakeland Mills.
  • Thanks to the folks at UBC for the tour through Brock Commons Tallwood House ( Charlene Chia Dr. Haibo Feng & Dr. Felix Wiesner) and for accommodating our look at the Forest Sciences Building and the Student Union Building.
  • Thanks to Brent Olund who led the construction of Brock Commons Tallwood House and provided us with the recommendation to visit the 18th floor.

On the final day, BDO hosted a networking reception at our newly renovated downtown office space. It was a fantastic evening of making connections and learning about each other's perspectives on the forest and mass timber industries. Thank you to all that attended!

A massive thank you to @Spencer Cotton, @Oliver Matters from BDO’s Canada Forest Products Advisory Team for hosting our team last week. The team thoroughly enjoyed visiting various mass timber and saw milling operations across the British Columbia area and forming meaningful industry connections. We all walked away with significant insights, a newfound understanding along with new and valuable relationships. A huge thank you must also go to @Katherine Robertson at BDO Melbourne who helped facilitate the connection with BDO Canada – another significant example of the ongoing growing relationship with Timberlink.
