The Canadian Wood Council (CWC) and the Canadian Institute of Steel Construction (CISC) announced a strategic partnership to try and accelerate the adoption of steel-timber hybrid structural solutions in Canada.

Steel-timber hybrid construction is emerging as a possible alternative to modern building designs.

To advance this opportunity, CWC and CISC have reportedly established a joint Technical Steering Committee. This committee will oversee the strategic use of funds contributed by both organizations to maximize industry impact. Its primary mandate is to support designers, engineers, and builders by developing technical guidance, best practices, and publications that will enable code-compliant solutions for hybrid systems.
