Why Should You Join BC Wood?
Over the past year BC Wood has become an expert in identifying and delivering virtual market development events that generate real value to our members. Many of these new events we organized ourselves. As a result, with the start of a new year, we can offer our members an effective and cost-efficient combination of virtual, hybrid, and in-person events. As the coming year progresses, we expect that increasingly these events will be conducted in-person or as hybrid events.
NEW Multi-Year Membership Activity Bank – a significant source of value and a major change in our offering
To recognize a long-term commitment from members to BC Wood, a contribution will be made to a member’s “Activity Bank”. Your multi-year commitment will position you to grow as the world re-opens over the next few years. Your multi-year membership gives you discounts you can access when you want to participate in tradeshows and events – virtual or live!
NEW North America Based Membership Option
BC Wood is well known for our activities in markets that are often the first step for many companies to exporting. As the US and Mexico remain our closest and major trading partners, these are the countries we generally recommend first to new exporters. Given that, the BC Wood Board has recommended we offer a North American Membership Level, as the easiest to penetrate and most likely to garner early success for new exporters.
Different types of available memberships

Value to Members Program
In reviewing our many ways to add-value to our BC Wood membership, the most productive is in finding ways for our members to save money on services that they need and can really use. With the buying power of a “group”, we have been negotiating with a number of service providers including our Associate Members and now have significant “added-value” propositions to offer BC Wood members. We are going beyond just being the “tradeshow guys” and forming alliances with services that our members need to help their business grow, while saving on expenses. All our Value to Members service providers are important links in the business chain.
BC Wood’s programs are open to all value-added wood product manufacturers in British Columbia. By participating with BC Wood, you will be adding our staff of business development experts to your sales and marketing team. If you are ready to grow, call BC Wood at 604-882-7100 or 1-877-4BC-WOOD for more information on our programming.
If you have any questions regarding the new Value to Members Program, please contact our office. We are your Association and our commitment is to help you grow your business, profitably.
