Ontario Launches Advanced Wood Construction Action Plan

June 30, 2025

• Our government has released the Advanced Wood Construction Action Plan to increase the manufacturing and use of high-quality made-in-Ontario wood building products.
• As our government delivers on its plan to protect and build Ontario, this action plan will help promote and prioritize wood-based building with made-in-Ontario wood construction products.
• The use of prefabricated and modular wood-based building materials, known as advanced wood construction, will help build more homes faster and create a more resilient forestry sector in response to U.S. tariffs by attracting investment, increasing revenues and providing economic opportunities that create and sustain local jobs.
• To date, Ontario has committed over $13 million to enhance the province’s advanced wood construction capacity.
• Through Invest Ontario, we are also committing $50 million over five years to grow Ontario’s industrial capacity in modular construction and other innovative options to accelerate development, improve affordability and nurture home‐grown industries that support quality jobs in Ontario.
• Advanced wood construction is a new opportunity that can help get more homes built faster and build a stronger, more competitive forest sector that can withstand whatever comes our way.
