Join the Sea to Sky Wood Network for an afternoon of guided shop tours through Squamish’s wood industry. This curated walkthrough offers a behind-the-scenes look at four distinct local manufacturers, each playing a role in transforming raw wood into value-added products.
|
We’ll end the day at the Squamish Presentation Centre, a stunning mass timber building designed by SLA and constructed by Naikoon. The space features local millwork and wood art installations and serves as a hub for the future of the Squamish Oceanfront. We’ll hear from the makers and craftspeople who contributed to the building and the surrounding landscape. Afterward, we’ll grab a drink, reflect on the tour, share stories, and connect with fellow attendees.
|
Whether you work in design, manufacturing, or construction, or have an interest in wood and local economic development, this is a unique opportunity to learn, connect, and get inspired by what’s happening in Squamish.
