About FPAC

The Forest Products Association of Canada (FPAC) is the voice of Canada’s wood, pulp, and paper producers nationally and internationally in government, trade, and environmental affairs. Canada’s forest products industry is a $54 billion dollar a year industry that represents almost 2% of Canada’s GDP. The industry is one of Canada’s largest employers, operating in hundreds of Canadian communities and providing hundreds of thousands of direct and indirect jobs across the country. FPAC represents the largest Canadian producers of forest products. Our members are responsible for 66% of certified forest lands in Canada. Third-party certification of member companies’ forest practices is a condition of membership in the Association — a world first.
